Application of information theory in systems biology
Biophysical Reviews, 2020 Over recent years, new light has been shed on aspects of information processing in cells. The quantification of information, as described by Shannon’s information theory, is a basic and powerful tool that can be applied to various fields, such as ...

Some applications of hypercontractive inequalities in quantum information theory [PDF]
, 2012 Hypercontractive inequalities have become important tools in theoretical computer science and have recently found applications in quantum computation. In this note we discuss how hypercontractive inequalities, in various settings, can be used to obtain ...
