Physics of Information

The Physics of Information explores how information is processed, transmitted, and stored, often relating it to physical systems. In essence, it examines how physical laws govern the behavior of information, such as in computing, communication, and quantum mechanics. Concepts like entropy describe the amount of disorder or uncertainty in a system, linking information theory to thermodynamics. This field helps us understand how information influences physical systems, impacts technology, and underlies processes like data storage in computers or energy use in communication networks, ultimately highlighting the relationship between information and the universe's fundamental workings.
