DESCRIPTION:Statistical physics has been proved to provide powerful tools 
 to analyze\nthe asymptotic performance of information systems\nby exploiti
 ng the analogy between systems of particles and bits. The\nstudy in depth 
 of such models also reveals some\nintimate relationships between Shannon t
 heory and the laws of physics\nand opens new routes to understand\ninforma
 tion-theoretical concepts from a physics perspective.\n
