Thermodynamics in essence is an information theory—its purpose is to make statements about systems for which we only have certain partial information, such as a gas of many particles for which only ...

The identities or bounds that relate information measures (e.g., the entropy and mutual information) and estimation measures (e.g., the minimum means square error ...

Erasure of data – the blanking of memory so that it can be used again – is a fundamental operation any computer must perform. In today’s computers, erasure generates heat, which not only wastes energy ...

Entropy also increases in initially ordered quantum systems until it reaches a final state of disorder. Entropy and the direction of time Equating 'entropy' with 'disorder' is not entirely correct.
