Title

Topos theoretic perspective on entropy

Abstract

In this talk I’ll be discussing an attempt to treat classical and quantum entropies in a unified setting which takes contextuality into account explicitly. I will show how this construction inherits most of the properties of its classical and quantum counterparts, and moreover encodes sufficient information to allow us to reconstruct quantum states directly from it.
