👉 Shannon computing, named after Claude Shannon, is a theoretical framework that defines the fundamental limits of information processing and transmission. It establishes that any communication system can be understood in terms of the capacity to transmit information reliably over a channel, quantified by the Shannon-Hartley theorem. This theorem specifies that the maximum rate at which information can be transmitted without error is determined by the channel's bandwidth and its signal-to-noise ratio. Essentially, Shannon computing provides a mathematical foundation for understanding how much data can be efficiently and accurately communicated through any given medium, highlighting the balance between information rate, channel capacity, and noise interference.
