Drawn from a September 2006 workshop, these 25 papers include contributions from Western Europe, the US and former Soviet Union republics. They are introduced by a comprehensive technical summary and cover issues of quantum cryptography, theories of quantum information, the production of entangled states and experimental techniques, and quantum communication and computation. Specific topics include error filtration, quantum strong flipping, photon pair generation, entanglement and eavesdropping, single qubit quantum multiparty communication, the relativistic no-cloning theorem, a coarse-grained Schrodinger "cat," a quantum di Finetti theorem for the unitary group, better Bell inequalities, security of quantum key distribution protocols based on ququarts, linear-optics manipulations of photon-loss codes, biased reconstruction and homodyne tomography, state ordering v. local operations in entanglement measures, and a proposed quantum-based electron scheme.
