We propose a partial information decomposition based on the newly introduced framework of causal tensors, i.e., multilinear stochastic maps that transform source data into destination data. This framework enables us to express an indirect…

A new interpretation of entanglement entropy is proposed: entanglement entropy of a pure state with respect to a division of a Hilbert space into two subspaces 1 and 2 is an amount of information, which can be transmitted through 1 and 2…

In this article we introduce an entropy-based, scale-dependent centrality that is evaluated as the Shannon entropy of the distribution at time t of a continuous-time random walk. It ranks nodes as a function of the time t, which acts as a…
