Entropy estimation and information theory form the bedrock of our understanding of uncertainty and complexity in both natural and engineered systems. At its core, entropy quantifies the ...

Information theory provides a mathematical framework for quantifying information and uncertainty, forming the backbone of modern communication, signal processing, and data analysis. Central to this ...

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 ...

The paper explores first the postulational basis and significance of 'measures of information' in current information theory and their possible relations to physical entropy and Brillouin's ...

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 faced one of science’s greatest puzzles: merging quantum mechanics, which describes tiny particles, with general relativity, which explains the universe’s vast structures.

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 ...
