Quantum Quantum information recommendation

AI Thread Summary
A third-year physics student seeks resources to learn about quantum information and quantum computing after completing courses in quantum mechanics using Griffiths and Auletta as textbooks. Recommendations include Nielsen and Chuang's standard textbook on quantum information, which is highly regarded in the field. Another suggested resource is "Quantum Approach to Informatics" by Stenholm and Suominen. Additionally, "Quantum Processes, Systems, and Information" by Schumacher and Westmoreland is noted for its didactic approach, making it suitable for beginners and providing insights into quantum mechanics from a quantum-information perspective.

I am 3rd year physics student (actually I have just finished it). I have good knowledge on basics of quantum mechanics: I had 1 semester of Introduction to Quantum Physics and then 2 semesters of Quantum Physics. Our literature were Griffiths (Introduction to Quantum Mechanics) and ''Gennaro Auletta: Quantum Mechanics'' (this book is more advanced than Griffiths, I think it's something like Shankar) (this book also has topics on quantum optics and introduction to quantum information, we didn't cover quantum information).

I would like to learn something about quantum information and quantum computing. Which book would be good for me if we take into account my knowledge?

The following is a book that's an introduction to QT from a quantum-information perspective, not per se a specialized book on quantum information, but maybe it's of some value for you. I liked it as a good didactical approach to introduce my students to quantum mechanics to beginners (with polarization states of photons as a simple 2D Hilbert space problem):

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
