Philosophy Workshop

Perspectives on the Foundations of Information Theory and Statistical Mechanics

This 3-day workshop examines the foundational significance of information theory and statistical mechanics for understanding entropy, probability, and physical information. The workshop will bring together philosophers of physics, physicists, and computer scientists to explore entropy and information as physically grounded notions. Key topics that will be discussed include the relationship between entropy and information, the role of correlations and entanglement in defining physical states, and the interpretation of entanglement entropy as physical information.
