Witten's talk at the IAS on this subject may also be of interest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYugyhoohhY

Halfway through the talk he switches to discussing quantum information theory.

Here is an excellent book on this subject "From Classical to Quantum Shannon Theory" https://arxiv.org/abs/1106.1445

Ed Witten gave a talk on information theory? At IAS?! Well, now I've got to bookmark this for later; thanks!
