Quantum Information Theory - A Quantum Bayesian Net Perspective

Abstract

The main goal of this paper is to give a pedagogical introduction to Quantum Information Theory-to do this in a new way, using network diagrams called Quantum Bayesian Nets. A lesser goal of the paper is to propose a few new ideas, such as associating with each quantum Bayesian net a very useful density matrix that we call the meta density matrix.
