Abstract
Classical probability and probabilistic interpretations of quantum mec hanics are examined from an information perspective. A concept called the conservation of the amount of information is proposed and is used to comment on an old philosophical question: namely the collapse of th e wave function in quantum mechanics. Some gedanken experiments show t hat it is possible to separate types of atoms by information 'control' .
