There will be no lecture on Thursday May 26. We'll have a makeup lecture during finals week.

I added a simple third problem to HW2. Also, I posted HW3. The fourth problem on HW3 is in the nature of a treasure hunt and I hope it will be fun. Tell me if you are not enjoying this problem and/or want more hints.

Hello and welcome. This is a special-topics class which will focus on the use of information theory in quantum many body physics. Please email me if you have suggestions or comments about the proposed content -- it is under active development and still somewhat flexible. 2016.03.21
