This wide-ranging book introduces information as a key concept not only in physics, from quantum mechanics to thermodynamics, but also in the neighboring sciences and in the humanities. The central part analyzes dynamical processes as manifestations of information flows between microscopic and macroscopic scales and between systems and their environment. Quantum mechanics is interpreted as a reconstruction of mechanics based on fundamental limitations of information processing on the smallest scales. These become particularly manifest in quantum chaos and in quantum computing. Covering subjects such as causality, prediction, undecidability, chaos, and quantum randomness, the book also provides an information-theoretical view of predictability.
“Information” is one of the most common technical terms in our times, the market abounds with literature on the subject—do we need yet another book on this subject? The present work grew out of the demand for a text accompanying a topical lecture on the concept of information in physics, at the graduate to postgraduate levels. The course, in turn, was and still is an experiment in teaching physics, an attempt to introduce a novel kind of interdisciplinary subject in a traditional science curriculum.
More than 180 illustrations visualize the concepts and arguments. The book takes inspiration from the author's graduate-level topical lecture but is also well suited for undergraduate studies and is a valuable resource for researchers and professionals.
