Scientists have shown, through probabilistic calculations, that there is indeed, as had been hypothesized, a rule of 'entropy' for the phenomenon of quantum entanglement. This finding could help drive ...

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? Time might kind of flow backward for quantum systems, due to present but lower ...

IT is widely believed that all irreversible mechanical processes involve an increase of entropy, and that ‘classical’ (that is, non-statistical) mechanics, of continuous media as well as of particles, ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: While quantum entanglement mimicks the first law of thermodynamics in terms of entropy in a system, scientists wonder if the second law—especially ...
