  2. Landauer's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landauer's_principle

    Flipping the bit required about 0.026 eV (4.2 × 10 −21 J) at 300 K, which is just 44% above the Landauer minimum. [11] A 2018 article published in Nature Physics features a Landauer erasure performed at cryogenic temperatures (T = 1 K) on an array of high-spin (S = 10) quantum molecular magnets.

  3. Entropy (information theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(information_theory)

    The first 128 symbols of the Fibonacci sequence has an entropy of approximately 7 bits/symbol, but the sequence can be expressed using a formula [F(n) = F(n−1) + F(n−2) for n = 3, 4, 5, ..., F(1) =1, F(2) = 1] and this formula has a much lower entropy and applies to any length of the Fibonacci sequence.

  4. Entropy in thermodynamics and information theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_in_thermodynamics...

    Or, in the words of G. N. Lewis writing about chemical entropy in 1930, "Gain in entropy always means loss of information, and nothing more". To be more concrete, in the discrete case using base two logarithms, the reduced Gibbs entropy is equal to the average of the minimum number of yes–no questions needed to be answered in order to fully ...

  5. Binary entropy function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_entropy_function

    When = /, the binary entropy function attains its maximum value, 1 shannon (1 binary unit of information); this is the case of an unbiased coin flip. When p = 0 {\displaystyle p=0} or p = 1 {\displaystyle p=1} , the binary entropy is 0 (in any units), corresponding to no information, since there is no uncertainty in the variable.

  6. nat (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nat_(unit)

    Shannon entropy (information entropy), being the expected value of the information of an event, is inherently a quantity of the same type and with a unit of information. The International System of Units, by assigning the same unit (joule per kelvin) both to heat capacity and to thermodynamic entropy implicitly treats information entropy as a quantity of dimension one, with 1 nat = 1.

  7. Cross-entropy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-entropy

    This is also known as the log loss (or logarithmic loss [4] or logistic loss); [5] the terms "log loss" and "cross-entropy loss" are used interchangeably. [ 6 ] More specifically, consider a binary regression model which can be used to classify observations into two possible classes (often simply labelled 0 {\displaystyle 0} and 1 ...

  8. Orders of magnitude (entropy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(entropy)

    9.5699 × 10 −24 J⋅K −1: Entropy equivalent of one bit of information, equal to k times ln(2) [1] 10 −23: 1.381 × 10 −23 J⋅K −1: Boltzmann constant, entropy equivalent of one nat of information. 10 1: 5.74 J⋅K −1: Standard entropy of 1 mole of graphite [2] 10 33: ≈ 10 35 J⋅K −1: Entropy of the Sun (given as ≈ 10 42 ...

  9. Entropy (order and disorder) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(order_and_disorder)

    The relationship between entropy, order, and disorder in the Boltzmann equation is so clear among physicists that according to the views of thermodynamic ecologists Sven Jorgensen and Yuri Svirezhev, "it is obvious that entropy is a measure of order or, most likely, disorder in the system."
