Aims to convey 3 principal developments in the evolution of information theory, including Shannon's interpretation of Boltzmann entropy as a measure of information yielded by an elementary statistical experiment and basic coding theorems on storing messages and transmitting them through noisy communication channels in an optimal manner.

This elegantly written text includes a wealth of exercises for students as it weaves classical probability theory into the quantum framework. It deepens our understanding of classical and quantum views on the dynamics of systems subject to the laws of chance.

According to a remark attributed to Mark Kac 'Probability Theory is a measure theory with a soul'. This book with its choice of proofs, remarks, examples and exercises has been prepared taking both these aesthetic and practical aspects into account.
