• Abstract: Based on a synthesis of three main ingredients: (i) the Shannon information in nonequilibrium systems, (ii) the semiclassical energy-time quantization rule, and (iii) the quasistatic information-energy correspondence, a new general rule for the quantization of quasistatic information states supported by an environment away from equilibrium is introduced if the history of the environment is known as a function of time in terms of its thermodynamic potential for information $T(t)\Delta S(t)$ that is a free energy measuring the distance from equilibrium $\Delta S(t)$, and $T(t)$ is the mean temperature of the environment at time $t$. This all new quasistatic information-time quantization rule is applied to the expanding universe using a phenomenological thermodynamic potential for information in the matter dominated era in order to find the eigen-informations of the persistent structures that are supported by the universe (or the local environments therein) at any given epoch, thus providing an information-theoretic foundation for formation of structures and rise of complexity with time that embodies the cosmic evolution as epitomized by the late Wheeler's famous conjecture ``{\it it from bit}". This theoretical procedure must also open new avenues for further research into the quantum theory of information and complexity in nonequilibrium thermodynamics.

We uncover a three-way trade-off relation between time, cost, and error for a class of thermodynamic operations aimed at creating separated states. We extend these findings to the quantum regime, encompassing both Markovian and non-Markovian dynamics.

• Which entropy for general physical theories? [44.99833362998488]
  We address the problem of quantifying the information content of a source for an arbitrary information theory. The functions that solve this problem in classical and quantum theory are Shannon's and von Neumann's entropy, respectively. In a general information theory there are three different functions that extend the notion of entropy, and this opens the question as to whether any of them can universally play the role of the quantifier for the information content.
