Abstract
An expanded theory of information transmission and processing has emerged over the past few years, encompassing the processing and transmission of intact quantum states, the interaction of quantum and classical information, the quantitative theory of entanglement, and the use of quantum information processing to speed up certain classical computations. We review this field, concentrating on the parallels with and differences from classical information theory, which is now best seen as a part of the new theory.
