In classical mechanics, if a system consisting of one particle suddenly became two particles, the entropy of the system would increase because the number of spatial degrees of freedom would double. But, in QM, I believe, when one particle decays into two particles, the two new particles would be entangled spatially. Thus the spatial entanglement could be viewed as a phenomena that reduces overall spatial entropy. Does that make sense?
Thanks in advance.
