quantum entanglement and information theory

Quantum entanglement refers to a strange and fascinating phenomenon in quantum physics, where two or more particles become interconnected in such a way that their states are dependent on each other. This means that the properties of the particles, like their position and momentum, are strongly correlated, regardless of their physical distance from each other. Information theory, on the other hand, deals with the fundamental concepts of encoding, transmitting, and processing information. It aims to study how information can be measured, stored, and communicated efficiently within various systems. When the concepts of quantum entanglement and information theory are integrated, it leads to the intriguing field of quantum information theory. This field explores how quantum entanglement can be utilized to process and transmit information in a fundamentally different way compared to classical systems. It offers potential for advancements in cryptography, computing, and communication by exploiting the unique properties of quantum systems.
