Beschreibung
An objective, dynamic and physically justified concept of information is elaborated starting from Shannon's concept of entropy and applied to information technology, artificial intelligence (consciousness) and thermodynamics. The justification of an information conservation theorem acquires practical significance in information technology, especially as it moves into the quantum realm (photonics/quantum computing). The unconditional dynamics of information and its objectivity are critically examined and are the foundations of the considerations.

Lienhard Pagel is professor emeritus of microsystems and device technology at the University of Rostock.
In diesem Buch wird ausgehend vom Shannonschen Entropiebegriff ein objektiver, dynamischer und physikalisch begründeter Informationsbegriff erarbeitet und auf die Informationstechnik und Thermodynamik angewandt. Die Begründung eines Informationserhaltungssatzes wird praktische Bedeutung in der Informationstechnik erhalten, insbesondere wenn sie in den Bereich der Quanten (Photonik/ Quantencomputing) arbeitet. Die unbedingte Dynamik von Information und die Objektivität der Information wird ebenfalls vertieft und behandelt.

“The title, Information is energy, intentionally challenges the longstanding view in information science that information is entropy. ... as a collection of references on the relation of computation and physics, and will certainly contribute to further, more systematic work in this field.” (H. Van Dyke Parunak, Computing Reviews, April 8, 2024)
