Books by Emmanuel Desurvire

Récemment (2011-2013) Charles Edmond Chojecki avait fait l'objet d'une historiographie très détaillée en 5 volumes. Avec l'Oeuvre & la Vie, le lecteur dispose pour la première fois d'une biographie simplifiée, telle qu'extraite de notre précédent ouvrage, et qui se lit plutôt comme un roman d'aventures et un voyage palpitant dans le monde du XIXème siècle, à travers les joies et les épreuves de la vie de cet homme partagé entre le réel et son imaginaire -- et "qui aura été partout et connu tout le monde".

Erbium doped fiber amplifiers is an important technology for lightwave voice, data, and cable TV transmission. This book covers the developmental issues of EDFAs that are relevant to modern telecom applications. It is intended for researchers, development engineers, and system designers in fiber-optic communications.

Information theory lies at the heart of modern technology, underpinning all communications, networking, and data storage systems. This book sets out, for the first time, a complete overview of both classical and quantum information theory. Throughout, the reader is introduced to key results without becoming lost in mathematical details. Opening chapters present the basic concepts and various applications of Shannon's entropy, moving on to the core features of quantum information and quantum computing. Topics such as coding, compression, error-correction, cryptography and channel capacity are covered from classical and quantum viewpoints. Employing an informal yet scientifically accurate approach, Desurvire provides the reader with the knowledge to understand quantum gates and circuits. Highly illustrated, with numerous practical examples and end-of-chapter exercises, this text is ideal for graduate students and researchers in electrical engineering and computer science, and practitioners in the telecommunications industry.
