Description:
The focus of this course will be on the mathematical theory of quantum information. We will begin with a development of basic principles and methods for reasoning about quantum information, and then move on to a discussion of various results concerning quantum information as the course progresses.

Algorithmic Information Theoryby Peter D. Gruenwald, Paul M.B. Vitanyi - CWI
We introduce algorithmic information theory, also known as the theory of Kolmogorov complexity. We explain this quantitative approach to defining information and discuss the extent to which Kolmogorov's and Shannon's theory have a common purpose.
