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.
Speakers: Aude Corbeel, Eugene Chua, Niccolò Covoni, Vincenzo Fano, Aldo Filomeno, Roberto Giuntini, Meir Hemmo, Aditya Jha, Patricia Palacios, Bryan Roberts, Pascal Rodríguez-Warnier, Marco Sanchioni and Stefan Wolf.
