information theory and statistical mechanics

Information theory and statistical mechanics are two closely related fields in the study of information and physical systems. Information theory focuses on the fundamental aspects of transmitting, storing, and processing information, while statistical mechanics deals with the behavior of large collections of particles or atoms based on statistical principles. The combination of these two fields explores how information and physical systems are interrelated, shedding light on the connections between information, entropy, and the behavior of physical systems at a microscopic level.
