{{Short description|Interdisciplinary theory behind quantum computing}}{{Quantum mechanics}}{{Information science}}
'''Quantum information science''' is a field that combines the principles of [[quantum mechanics]] with [[information theory]] to study the processing, analysis, and transmission of information. It covers both theoretical and experimental aspects of quantum physics, including the limits of what can be achieved with [[quantum information]]. The term '''quantum information theory''' is sometimes used, but it does not include experimental research and can be confused with a subfield of quantum information science that deals with the processing of quantum information.
