| Description | Quantum information processing and communication (QIPC) theory has developed recently very fast and brought a variety of interesting and important results of the great value also for the whole area of quantum physics. One can also say that the field of QIPC has been so far mainly theory driven and the experiments have been mostly done to show that it is indeed possible, and how difficult is to make it, what theory shows as possible. One of the main reasons for such a fast and successful development of the QIPC science is the fact that paradigms, models, concepts, value system, as well as methods and results of the (theoretical) informatics have been intensively used. The goal of this paper is to go behind this successful crusade and applications of the informatics for QIPC and to present, analyse and illustrate the main ideas, concepts, methods and tools that have been involved. All that should help more physics-oriented researchers in QIPC to understand that in order to explore the quantum world, new paradigms, concepts, models and so on are now available, and they could and should be used, due to the progress in (theoretical) informatics. Our concentration will be not only on what has been achieved, but even more on the main new challenges. In doing that we will concentrate more on the backgrounds, motivations, goals and implications than on the very technical results. |
