Quantum theory is poking holes in our understanding of entropy<\/p>\n

Measuring disorder in the quantum realm is creating a bit of a mess. A mathematical study found that three different definitions for entropy that were previously thought to be equivalent don\u2019t always match for quantum objects.<\/p>\n

When two objects are connected \u2013 say a container of hot gas is linked to a colder gas reservoir \u2013 the entropy of the colder one can increase because the two will exchange quantities like particles and heat. For almost 200 years, physicists have used the same set\u2026<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
