Researchers shed new light on the link between quantum theory and thermodynamics
The second law of thermodynamics, a cornerstone of modern physics, states that entropy—a measure of disorder—never spontaneously decreases. It governs everything from the efficiency of engines to the ...

Quantum theory and thermodynamics: Maxwell's demon?
An international collaboration sheds new light on the relationship between quantum theory and thermodynamics. The research group demonstrated that while the laws of quantum theory alone do not ...
Physicists Uncover a Hidden Quantum World Inside the Proton – And It’s Wilder Than We Thought
Protons are far from simple particles — they are swirling cauldrons of quarks, gluons, and quantum entanglement. Scientists ...
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 ...
