153 pages, 30 figures. An ancient PhD thesis, covering the time period April 1998 - December 2000. On quant-ph/9806088, quant-ph/9807034, quant-ph/9907021, quant-ph/9912080, quant-ph/0004076, quant-ph/0005101, quant-ph/0007081, quant-ph/0103096, quant-ph/0212007. Some material has only been published here (such as a more detailed discussion of entanglement loss under twirling with respect to the symmetric group as encountered in symmetric group superselection rules, an early independent proof that the negativity is an entanglement monotone and hence a proper measure of entanglement, discussions of entanglement transformations, catalysis, and non-local gates in distributed quantum computation, and some review material)
