Determining the state of a quantum system is a consuming procedure. For this reason, whenever one is interested only in some particular property of a state, it would be desirable to design a measurement setup that reveals this property with…
The purpose of this article is to show a different way to calculate the electron transfer between atoms. It can be used as a base for calculating the minimal electricity, showed here by Joules, necessary for the transference of electrons.…
The missing mass refers to the probability of elements not observed in a sample, and since the work of Good and Turing during WWII, has been studied extensively in many areas including ecology, linguistic, networks and information theory.…
A bound on the maximum information transmission rate through a cascade of Gaussian links is presented. The network model consists of a source node attempting to send a message drawn from a finite alphabet to a sink, through a cascade of…
The main sources of information energy in the universe are shown to be stellar heated gas and dust and black holes. Information energy has properties similar to dark energy with a significant energy density that has remained nearly constant…
This thesis is a contribution to the debate on the implications of quantum information theory for the foundations of quantum mechanics. In Part 1, the logical and conceptual status of various notions of information is assessed. It is…
This research investigates the extent of misinformation in certain journalistic articles by introducing a novel measurement tool to assess the degrees of falsity. It aims to measure misinformation using two metrics (concealment and…
Comparing the top $k$ elements between two or more ranked results is a common task in many contexts and settings. A few measures have been proposed to compare top $k$ lists with attractive mathematical properties, but they face a number of…
It has been suggested that dark matter is a superfluid of particles whose masses are on the rough order of $10^{-22}$ eV. Since the occupation numbers are huge, the state is coherent, and the speeds typical of orbital velocities in halos,…
We try to understand how particles acquire mass in general, and in particular, how they acquire mass in the standard model and beyond.
Does information play a significant role in the foundations of physics? Information is the abstraction that allows us to refer to the states of systems when we choose to ignore the systems themselves. This is only possible in very…
The electron self-energy (self-mass) is calculated on the basis of the model of quantum field theory with maximal mass M, developed by V.G.Kadyshevsky et al. within the pseudo-Hermitian quantum electrodynamics in the second order of the…
It is shown that for an equilibrium state of time-symmetric system of non-relativistic strings the energy per unit of information transfer (storage, processing) obeys the Bekenstein conjecture. The result is based on a theorem due to…
The quantum prepare-and-measure scenario has been studied under various physical assumptions on the emitted states. Here, we first discuss how different assumptions are conceptually and formally related. We then identify one that can serve…
A system of two closely spaced atoms interacting through a vacuum electromagnetic field is considered. It is demonstrated that radiative decay in such a system resulting from photon exchange gives rise to a definite amount of information…
With rapid increase in online information consumption, especially via social media sites, there have been concerns on whether people are getting selective exposure to a biased subset of the information space, where a user is receiving more…
We study approximation and integration problems and compare the quality of optimal information with the quality of random information. For some problems random information is almost optimal and for some other problems random information is…
It is widely known that `collapse of the wave function' on a quantum system A may be brought about by an interaction with another quantum system B. We will prove that this is not just a possible, but a necessary consequence of information…
Using a recent published formula for the number of information N that results from Landauer's principle we obtain an expression for the cosmological constant Lambda. Next, assuming the universe as a system of mass M satisfying Landauer's…
Life depends as much on the flow of information as on the flow of energy. Here we review the many efforts to make this intuition precise. Starting with the building blocks of information theory, we explore examples where it has been…
