"This is a very interesting book, which appears to provide a solid foundation for future research...van Rijsbergen's explanations are well written and logical. In addition, there are many pointers to other sources of relevant information. This book would be of particular interest to those conducting IR, Artificial Intelligence or Cognitive Science research. The novel approach may also be of interest to web search engine developers. As the author points out, this book could also provide a useful introduction to quantum computation, as most of the required mathematics is included...In conclusion, this is a clearly written and thought-provoking book that has been a pleasure to read. It is highly recommended."
IAPR Newsletter

Keith Van Rijsbergen demonstrates how different models of information retrieval (IR) can be combined in the same framework used to formulate the general principles of quantum mechanics. All the standard results can be applied to address problems in IR, such as pseudo-relevance feedback, relevance feedback and ostensive retrieval. The relation with quantum computing is examined. Appendices with background material on physics and mathematics are also included.
