The Masterclass is aimed at graduate students and postdocs interested in learning about entropic quantities and their use in Shannon theory, cryptography and quantum information processing. It will include minicourses by experts in these fields and additional lectures by both local and external speakers. There will also be significant opportunities for direct interaction. The primary aim is to expose a broad audience to the latest research on some of the most important open problems in this field.

Entropy is among the most important but also most perplexing concepts in physics. It is also a polymorphic concept: introduced in thermodynamics, we now find it in statistical mechanics, quantum mechanics, information theory, and black hole physics, to name just the most obvious. In this summer school, we will systematically explore the various concepts of entropy as they are used in state-of-the-art physics and evaluate their philosophical interpretations.
