Literature

  1. Other useful material:
  2. Information theory:
    • Dominic Welsh, Codes & Cryptography:
      about 20 pages are interesting for this lecture; good reference if you are interested in cryptography, coding, classical information theory.
      (Oxford Science Publications, Oxford University Press 1988 [ISBN 0 19 853287 3])
  3. Quantum mechanics:
