I am trying to learn what entropy actually is, and I read this answer about how entropy is the information needed to specify a full quantum state but. However, if entropy is just information, why does it have units related to energy and temperature.? So I was wondering if someone could explain how information can have these units.

Why do the units of entropy include energy and temperature?
