Then, just as Shannon’s noiseless coding theorem introduces the concept of the bit as a measure of informa tion, the quantum noiseless coding theorem introduces the concept of the qubit ... , n.

A nice measure for the value of the occurrence of outcome x i is −log p(x i ), a decreasing function of the probability of the outcome. We may call this the ‘surprise’...
