Background, conventions, and notation

Abstract

Background, conventions, and notationThis book aims to be as modular as possible, where each numbered chapter and section can be read on its own-as such, specific notational definitions, technical terms, and acronyms are redefined the first time they appear in each numbered section.Nevertheless, the mathematical presentation throughout this book does assume familiarity with certain concepts, techniques, and conventions that are ubiquitous within the field of theoretical quantum information science.This book is targeting an interdisciplinary community of researchers; thus, the assumed conventions and understanding of "common knowledge" will vary from reader to reader, depending on one's background and experience.In order to make the material as widely accessible as possible, here we collect some of the concepts and notational choices that are commonly used throughout this book.For readers interested in a more complete introduction to the field and its standard conventions, we recommend the following resources:use, available at https://www.
