   Oct 14, 2002 · Claude E. Shannon was a remarkable scientist who single-handedly launched classical information theory in 1948. He defined information as a quantity, quantified it mathematically, and analysed how to transmit it through a noisy channel. He also proved that unbreakable cryptography was possible with the one-time pad and quantum key distribution.

   What is Shannon's definition of information?

   • The definition of information set forth in Shannon's 1948 paper is crucial to his theory of communication. Sidestepping questions about meaning (which he has stressed that his theory “can't and wasn't intended to address"), Shannon demonstrated that information is a measurable commodity.

   What happened to Claude Shannon?

   • The extraordinary pattern of information processing that was Claude Shannon finally succumbed to the depredations of thermodynamic entropy in February 2001. But some of the signal generated by Shannon lives on, expressed in the information technology in which our own lives are now immersed.

   What did Claude Shannon write?

   • Claude Shannon wrote a master’s thesis that jump-started digital circuit design, and a decade later he wrote his seminal paper on information theory, “A Mathematical Theory of Communication.” Next, Shannon set his sights on an even bigger target: communication. Communication is one of the most basic human needs.
