Statistical Physics and Information Theory
This is a set of lecture notes for a graduate course, which focuses on the relations between Information Theory and Statistical Physics. The course is aimed at EE graduate students in the area of Communications and Information Theory, as well as to graduate students in Physics who have basic background in Information Theory. Strong emphasis is given to the analogy and parallelism between Inform...
متن کاملInformation Theory and Statistical Physics
Relationships between information theory and statistical physics have been recognized over the last few decades. One such aspect is identifying structures of optimization problems pertaining to certain information-theoretic settings and drawing analogy to parallel structures arising in statistical physics, and then borrowing statistical mechanical insights, as well as powerful analysis techniqu...
متن کاملEntropy in Classical and Quantum Information Theory
Entropy is a central concept in both classical and quantum information theory, measuring the uncertainty and the information content in the state of a physical system. This paper reviews classical information theory and then proceeds to generalizations into quantum information theory. Both Shannon and Von Neumann entropy are discussed, making the connection to compressibility of a message strea...
متن کاملRelative entropy in quantum information theory
We review the properties of the quantum relative entropy function and discuss its application to problems of classical and quantum information transfer and to quantum data compression. We then outline further uses of relative entropy to quantify quantum entanglement and analyze its manipulation. 1 Quantum relative entropy In this paper we discuss several uses of the quantum relative entropy fun...
متن کاملNegative Entropy in Quantum Information Theory
We present a quantum information theory that allows for the consistent description of quantum entanglement. It parallels classical (Shannon) information theory but is based entirely on density matrices, rather than probability distributions, for the description of quantum ensembles. We find that, unlike in Shannon theory, conditional entropies can be negative when considering quantum entangled ...
