Quantal Information Theory

Information to be gained from the measurement ofobservables in many areas of physics can be representedby the concatenation of Hermitian, pseudo-Hermitian, andreal qubits to form a quantal analogs of the ‘tape’ of a Turing machine.There is a distinction between selected information,which is in principle predictable, and unselectedinformation, which is indeterminate. Qubits and tapesare subject to transformations which may be used to convertthem to selected form. It is shown how to representinformation derived from quantum mechanics, quantumstatistics, particle physics, and cosmology in thisway.
