Expanded Information Theory of Quantum Systems
Jincheng Zhang
Abstract
This paper explores a novel extension of information theory, focusing on the concept of "information content" as a dynamic system-level property rather than simply a probabilistic outcome. We propose a framework that leverages quantum entanglement to encode and transmit information, moving beyond classical probability-based approaches. This theory emphasizes the crucial role of quantum state structure and interaction in defining and quantifying information. The core mechanism centers on a shift from probability description to an information-driven description, introducing the concept of "information resonance" within quantum states. This expansion addresses a fundamental limitation of existing quantum information theory by providing a more holistic and physically meaningful perspective on information encoding and transmission, potentially offering new avenues for quantum technologies.
