DESCRIPTION:Quantum Information Theory is the study of information-process
 ing tasks such as storage and transmission of information\, or manipulatio
 n of entanglement\, using quantum-mechanical systems. Until very recently\
 , the study of these processes was limited to the case in which the requir
 ed resources\, e.g. information sources\, communication channels or entang
 lement resources\, were assumed to be available for an infinite number of 
 independent uses. In reality\, however\, resources are used a finite numbe
 r of times\, and there are unavoidable correlations between their successi
 ve uses. Hence\, it is important to forego the assumption of  independence
  and evaluate optimal rates of information-processing tasks for finite num
 ber of uses of correlated resources. For further information\, see http://
