I think if we view entropy as uncertainty (which can be based on Shanon's measure of information), then it is obvious that uncertainty is necessary for the Second Law to hold.

For those who read carefully the paper by Esther Hänggi and Stephanie Wehner: "A violation of the uncertainty principle implies a violation of the second law of thermodynamics": 1. Can you elaborate how extra work can be extracted if the UP is violated? 2. Does the paper implies that...

Do you know if one else had this idea, that entropy cannot be predicted theoretically without Uncertainty Principle?

missing link The linked page is missing. Would you kindly specify in which lecture Susskind discusses this point?

bohm2: Does the "lack of information about all degrees of freedom of a soft body" explain away the Uncertainty Principle as well?

Thank you Nugatory.

If the momentum is always positive (or non-negative), then the analogy of momentum with rate of change will not be one to one?

Thank you mvp_plate.

I am just a hobbyist and try to learn for myself. I understand that the value of a field and its rate of change play the same role of position and momentum of a particle with respect to Uncertainty Principle, i.e. both pairs are conjugate variables. My question is: does the rate of change of...

I appreciate the helpful discussions in this forum. I am only a hobbyist, but it seems that we can still have a kind of uncertainty at the classical level if we look at entropy. This uncertainty is related to time and energy. As I understand it, it states (roughly) that the higher the precision...
