Advances in Physics These reviews are sometimes complemented by a "Perspectives" section which publishes shorter articles that may be controversial, with the intention of stimulating debate. The intended audience consists of physicists, materials scientists, and physical chemists working in universities, industry, and research institutes. Broad, interdisciplinary coverage includes topics ranging from condensed matter physics, statistical mechanics, quantum information, cold atoms, and soft matter physics to biophysics. The impact factor for "Advances in Physics" 18.062 in 2013, ranking it first in the discipline of condensed matter physics. This journal is indexed in the following databases: Advances in Physics Advances in Physics is a bimonthly
Interaction information Interaction information The interaction information (McGill 1954), or amounts of information (Hu Kuo Ting, 1962) or co-information (Bell 2003) or information interaction (Licina 2017) is one of several generalizations of the mutual information. In fact, the definition of interaction information is identical to that of multivariate mutual information except for a change in sign in the case of an odd number of random variables except in the work of Licina where information is more like a physical entitiy. Interaction information expresses the amount information (redundancy or synergy) bound up in a set of variables, "beyond" that which is present in
