I was trying to work out the same thing. The no-communication theorem says that you can't transfer data using entangled particles -- but would that apply to energy as well? Not sure. Need a quantum physicist...

Since you can measure energy, it's pretty clear that it counts as information.

However, the theorem you mention only rules out instantaneous transfer of information.

Is energy classified as information?

[stephengillie]

Noisy, staticy, lossy EM fields do provide electromotive force. This is why data and power cables are often separated.

[astrodust]

I mean in a quantum mechanical sense. (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_information)

The ability of something to cause a random side-effect does not necessarily mean that something is information.
