However, a new study from researchers at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) challenges this notion. It suggests that the entropy of a closed quantum system also increas ...

The universe is getting more disordered, entropy is growing -- this is the second law of thermodynamics. But according to quantum theory, entropy should actually stay the same. Scientists took a ...

This week, astronomers reported the discovery of a super-Earth potentially capable of sustaining life, occupying an eccentric ...

In fact, Gavassino states in his paper that “entropy increase is the only physical law that enables us to draw a fundamental distinction between past and future.” The second central concept to ...

Quantum thermodynamics is an emerging field that combines principles of quantum mechanics with thermodynamic concepts to understand the behavior of quantum systems. One of the key frameworks in ...
