Special Issue on Quantum Computation and Quantum Information

Quantum information was once a niche domain focused on foundational questions. It has grown into a broad research area with industrial, academic, and national research efforts around the world, but many foundational questions remain. The special issue papers consider cryptography and error correction from the viewpoint of quantum information and computation.
