Description:
The aim of this book is to provide an overview of current work addressing this topic of research that explores the geometric structures of information and entropy. We hope that this vast survey on the geometric structure of information and entropy will motivate readers to go further and explore the emerging domain of 'Science of Information'.

Quantum Information Theoryby Renato Renner - ETH Zurich
Processing of information is necessarily a physical process. It is not surprising that physics and the theory of information are inherently connected. Quantum information theory is a research area whose goal is to explore this connection.
