Quantum information: primitive notions and quantum correlations
Abstract
This series of introductory lectures consists of two parts. In the first part, I rapidly review the basic notions of quantum physics and many primitives of quantum information (i.e. notions that one must be somehow familiar with in the field, like cloning, teleportation, state estimation...). The second part is devoted to a detailed introduction to the topic of quantum correlations, covering the evidence for failure of alternative theories, some aspects of the formalism of no-signaling probability distributions and some hints towards some current research topics in the field.

Six Lectures in a Les Houches Summer school (Singapore, 29 June - 24 July 2009). Many topics missing because they were covered by other lecturers. Many references missing because this is not a review article
