The book focuses on the advancements in design theory, reflecting significant developments since the first edition. It emphasizes the increasing relevance of discrete mathematics in engineering and science, highlighted by a new chapter dedicated to practical applications. Targeted at advanced students and researchers, it serves as a comprehensive reference for those in discrete mathematics, computer, and communications engineering. The volume includes exercises and an extensive bibliography with over 1800 citations, enhancing its utility for mathematical disciplines.

Quantum processing and communication is emerging as a challenging technique at the beginning of the new millennium. This is an up-to-date insight into the current research of quantum superposition, entanglement, and the quantum measurement process - the key ingredients of quantum information processing. The authors further address quantum protocols and algorithms. Complementary to similar programmes in other countries and at the European level, the German Research Foundation (DFG) realized a focused research program on quantum information. The contributions - written by leading experts - bring together the latest results in quantum information as well as addressing all the relevant questions.
