New research shows that the second law of thermodynamics, which states entropy increases over time, also applies to closed quantum systems.

Can quantum systems become more disordered, as thermodynamics would predict? Yes, they can - if a proper definition of "entropy" is used. It is one of the most important laws of nature that ... broken ...
