Hans Christian von Baeyer on Information theory
← Back to Hans Christian von Baeyer Profile
“In fact, an information theory that leaves out the issue of noise turns out to have no content.”
“If quantum communication and quantum computation are to flourish, a new information theory will have to be developed.”
“Claude Shannon, the founder of information theory, invented a way to measure 'the amount of information' in a message without defining the word 'information' itself, nor even addressing the question of the meaning of the message.”
