Submission

All manuscripts should be submitted to entropy@mdpi.org with a copy to the Guest Editor. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. Papers will be published continuously (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are refereed through a peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Entropy is an international peer-reviewed Open Access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this Open Access journal is 1000 CHF per accepted paper.

Abstract: A non-Euclidean geometry of information derives, on quantum level, from the probabilistic features of superposition and entanglement. Superposition phenomena lead to probabilities defined as distances in non-Euclidean spaces (quantum probability is not additive, and this is classically expressed by complex numbers, which are unnecessary in geometrical theory), entanglement imposes to build a space of global or statistical parameters, such as the averages including non-local and active information.
Deformation of universal geometry is the active information connected with Fisher entropy in the parameter space. Superposition in quantum mechanics is reflected in the deformation of the geometry. Entanglement is connected with the synchronic acquisition of the same geometry in any part of the universe. The essence of entanglement lies on the creation of a particular universal geometry in any part of the universe at the same time. The Universe and its geometry are reshaped at any moment for the change of the physical properties of the particles in the universe.

Abstract: The paper reviews the main principles of several techniques for representing and processing information uncertainty. They include: Bayesian probability, fuzzy representation, neural networks and quantum superposition. A comparison between them is provided along with their past, current and future potential applications for solving class of problems.
Keywords: Bayesian probability; fuzzy representation; neural networks; quantum probabilities
