Resumen:
The present article addresses the question "What is quantum information?" from a conceptual viewpoint. In particular, it is argued that there are no reasons to consider that there exists quantum information as qualitatively different than classical information: there is only one kind of information, which can be encoded by means of orthogonal or non-orthogonal states. It is also claimed that information is neutral with respect to the physical theories that describe the systems used for its implementation, and it is suggested that this view opens the way towards a non-reductive unification of physics.
