Abstract

In this review paper, different definitions of classical entropies and a quantum version of entropy, the von Neumann Entropy, are introduced. Correlations between these classical and quantum models of entropy and the relevance of each in information theory are shown. Computing and quantum teleportation are discussed with the goal of providing a pedagogical introduction to some of the applications of information theory.
