| Statistical Physics of Information: Information Theory in Physics and Biology | |
| Modul: | Phy-Ma-Hsem: Hauptseminar |
| Vorlesungssprache | Englisch |
| Inhalt der Lehrveranstaltung: | Information is a key concept in statistical physics, allowing one to give a vivid interpretation of entropy and partial knowledge of microscopic system states. On the other hand, tools from statistical physics have proven extremely useful to describe the stochastic dynamics of complex systems, an important example being biological cells that process noisy sensory information. In this seminar, by a series of student's presentation on selected topics, we will introduce both fundamental concepts of information theory as well as show how these concepts are applied in current state biological physics. |
