Entropy and information theory form a cornerstone of modern statistical and communication sciences. Entropy serves as a fundamental measure of uncertainty and information content in both physical and ...

Entropy and information are both emerging as currencies of interdisciplinary dialogue, most recently in evolutionary theory. If this dialogue is to be fruitful, there must be general agreement about ...

From a laptop warming a knee to a supercomputer heating a room, the fact that computers generate heat is familiar to everyone. But theoretical physicists have discovered something astonishing: not ...

A new technique based in information theory promises to improve researchers' ability to interpret ice core samples and our understanding of Earth's climate history. At two miles long and five inches ...

For decades, physicists have struggled to reconcile the laws governing the very small with those that describe the vast ...

Entropy is the measure of the disorder in a system that occurs over a period of time with no energy put into restoring the order. Zentropy integrates entropy at multiscale levels. Credit: Elizabeth ...

Electron–proton collisions Study reveals importance of entanglement entropy. (Courtesy: Kevin Coughlin/Brookhaven National Laboratory) An international team of physicists has used the principle of ...
