Lecture: Wednesday 9:00–10:30 in K432KDM.

Tutorials: Wednesday 10:40–11:25 in K432KDM.

Quantum Information by Štepán Holub at MFF UK that can be considered a prequel to this course.
Understanding Quantum Information and Computation by John Watrous.
The Theory of Quantum Information by John Watrous; quite encyclopedic, does not use the Dirac notation.
Advanced topics in quantum information theory, a course by John Watrous, also accompanied by a YouTube playlist.
Symmetry and Quantum Information, a course by Michael Walter at The Ruhr University Bochum about applications of representation theory in quantum information.
Introduction to Quantum Information Processing, a course by Richard Cleve at University of Waterloo.
Mathematics of Quantum Information, a course by William Slofstra at University of Waterloo.

Mathematics of entanglement via nonlocal games by Thomas Vidick; gives an overview of the recent landmark result \(\mathsf{MIP}^* = \mathsf{RE}\).
Games and Algebras by Sam Harris and Vern Paulsen. A great survey of the theory of nonlocal games and how they induce algebras.
Entanglement and Nonlocal Effects, a course by Richard Cleve at University of Waterloo.
On the Einstein Podolsky Rosen Paradox, the original paper by Bell.
Hidden variables and the two theorerns of John Bell, a very readable paper by Mermin.
A simple demonstration of Bell’s theorem involving two observers and no probabilities or inequalities, a paper by Aravind that was first to reformulate Bell’s inequalities in terms of games.
Kochen-Specker contextuality, a more modern survey about Kochen-Specker contextuality, including some applications in quantum cryptography and quantum computing.

Self-testing of quantum systems: a review, very nice survey of self-testing. Should be understandable after the first three chapters of this course.

Quantum Mechanics by Leonard Susskind; a part of his “The theoretical minimum” series written for non-physicits with a solid mathematical background, it reads really well.
