Scientists have finally uncovered a quantum counterpart to Carnot’s famed second law, showing that entanglement—once thought ...

“The crucial thing about our method is that one hand behaves purely in terms of quantum physics, and only the other, slower hand actually has an entropy-generating effect.” For now, this technical ...

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 ...

Just over 200 years after French engineer and physicist Sadi Carnot formulated the second law of thermodynamics, an international team of researchers has unveiled an analogous law for the quantum ...

A new study shows entanglement can be reversed—if you plug in a quantum battery. The finding rewrites the rules of the ...

It all stems from Nernst's theorem, also known as the third law of thermodynamics, an experimental observation from 1905 ...

A physicist solves an old thermodynamic puzzle and demonstrates directly from the second law that entropy disappears at ...

A ccording to the second law of thermodynamics, the entropy of an isolated system tends to increase over time. Everything around us follows this law; for instance, the melting of ice, a room ...

What this all adds up to, in Vospon’s estimation, is that the Second Law of Infodynamics could also be used to prove that we live in a simulation. “A super complex universe like ours, if it ...

Entropy is central to the second law of thermodynamics. The second law in conjunction with the fundamental thermodynamic relation places limits on a system's ability to do useful work.

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 in Vienna ...

This is where scientists got the idea that any clock with increased precision also has increased entropy on a mostly 1:1 scale, due to the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
