Quantum theory and thermodynamics: No contradiction with new entropy definition, study says
The famous second law of thermodynamics says that the world gets more and more disordered when random chance is at play. Or, ...

Sacred laws of entropy also work in the quantum world, suggests study
New research shows that the second law of thermodynamics, which states entropy increases over time, also applies to closed ...
Shattering the Quantum Entropy Myth – Why Disorder Always Wins
Entropy always increases, but in quantum systems, traditional entropy measures seem constant. TU Wien researchers resolved this paradox by considering Shannon entropy, which accounts for the ...
International collaboration sheds new light on the relationship between quantum theory and thermodynamics
Researchers from Nagoya University in Japan and the Slovak Academy of Sciences have unveiled new insights into the interplay ...

Even quantum physics obeys the law of entropy
Yes, they can - if a proper definition of "entropy" is used. It is one of the most important laws of nature that we know: The famous second law of thermodynamics says that the world gets more and ...

The law-abiding Universe
The second law of thermodynamics demands that the entropy of any closed macroscopic system should never decrease. The laws of physics naturally drive systems towards states of increasing disorder ...

Sacred laws of entropy also work in the quantum world, suggests study
According to the second law of thermodynamics, the entropy of an isolated system tends to increase over time. Everything around us follows this law; for instance, the melting of ice, a room ...
