About The Book
This monograph by Naresh Chandra provides an interdisciplinary exploration of atomic, molecular, and quantum information (QI) science. It investigates the applications of quantum information theory (QI) in electron optics and the study of atoms and molecules. The book focuses particularly on the entanglement properties of flying electronic qubits, generated through processes in atoms or molecules following photon absorption.

Key topics include the generation of Coulombic or fine-structure entanglement in electronic qubits, and how these entanglements differ from other quantum states, such as those where spin is entangled with photon polarization. The text also explores the interaction between spins of outer-shell electrons and residual photoions, revealing insights into both free and bound entanglement in laboratory settings.

This book is aimed at researchers and students in quantum information science, atomic and molecular physics, and quantum mechanics, offering a detailed look at the advanced applications of QI for both fundamental and applied studies.
