What is the common & connection of quantum entanglement and entropy?

In summary, the conversation discussed the topic of similarities and commonalities between quantum entanglement, superposition, and entropy. The person asking for clarification had heard about this in a YouTube video but could not remember the source. It was also mentioned that even a non-interacting ideal gas can demonstrate higher entropy, despite not having entanglement between its molecules. The conversation concluded by suggesting the use of proper scientific material for discussion.

I heard that in youtube video. But i can't remember who is the person

Even a noninteracting ideal gas tends towards higher entropy, despite there being no interactions that would cause entanglement between the gas molecules. So entanglement is not strictly necessary for the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

Sorry, but it is impossible to base a discussion on this. And even if you have seen it in a youtube video or read in some "science" article, it still would be no basis for a discussion. Please get yourself used to read proper scientific material, and if you do not understand these, we will be pleased to try to help you.

Thread closed.
 

What is quantum entanglement?

Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon in quantum physics where two or more particles become connected in such a way that the state of one particle is dependent on the state of the other, regardless of the distance between them.

What is entropy?

Entropy is a measure of the disorder or randomness in a system. In physics, it is often used to describe the amount of energy in a system that is unavailable to do work.

How are quantum entanglement and entropy related?

Quantum entanglement and entropy are related in that the entanglement of particles can lead to a decrease in the overall entropy of a system. This is because entangled particles are able to share information and behave in a correlated manner, reducing the randomness or disorder in the system.

Can quantum entanglement be used to decrease entropy?

Yes, quantum entanglement can be used to decrease entropy. By using entangled particles, information can be shared and correlated in a way that decreases the overall randomness or disorder in a system. This has potential applications in quantum computing and communication.

Is quantum entanglement the only way to decrease entropy?

No, quantum entanglement is not the only way to decrease entropy. Other methods, such as cooling a system or extracting work from it, can also lead to a decrease in entropy. However, quantum entanglement is a unique and powerful tool for decreasing entropy at the quantum level.
