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, ...

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 ...
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 ...

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 ...

Even quantum physics obeys the law of entropy
then this kind of entropy increases in a closed quantum system until it levels off around a maximum value – exactly as is known from thermodynamics in classical systems. The more time passes ...
