Irreversibility and Inference: Classical and Quantum Reverse Processes via Bayesian Inversion

Explore the intricate relationship between irreversibility and inference in classical and quantum reverse processes through the lens of Bayesian inversion in this comprehensive 1-hour and 14-minute lecture by Clive Cenxin Aw from the PCS Institute for Basic Science. Delve into the fundamental concepts of thermodynamics and information theory as they apply to both classical and quantum systems. Gain insights into how Bayesian inversion techniques can be used to analyze and understand reverse processes, shedding light on the nature of irreversibility in physical systems. Examine the implications of these concepts for fields such as statistical mechanics, quantum information, and the foundations of physics.
