"This book is a fundamental read for anyone working on quantum technologies ... . the book provides for an important reference for both graduate students and researchers working on either finite and profinite quantum systems, specifically, or in quantum technology research. Due to the extensive results and propositions' proofs provided, the book can be used as a reference for building new approaches integrating the theory of finite and profinite quantum system."
