A direct connection of information entropy $S$ and kinetic energy $T$ is obtained for nuclei and atomic clusters, which establishes $T$ as a measure of the information in a distribution. It is conjectured that this is a universal property…
The information content of a source is defined in terms of the minimum number of bits needed to store the output of the source in a perfectly recoverable way. A similar definition can be given in the case of quantum sources, with qubits…

Information theory provides a mathematical foundation to measure uncertainty in belief. Belief is represented by a probability distribution that captures our understanding of an outcome's plausibility. Information measures based on…
