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

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the relationship between quantum entanglement, superposition, and entropy, highlighting that while there are perceived similarities, entanglement is not essential for the second law of thermodynamics. Participants emphasize the importance of referencing credible scientific sources rather than anecdotal evidence from platforms like YouTube. The conversation concludes with a call for participants to engage with proper scientific literature to deepen their understanding of these complex concepts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum mechanics principles, particularly quantum entanglement and superposition.
  • Familiarity with the second law of thermodynamics and its implications on entropy.
  • Knowledge of credible scientific research methodologies and sources.
  • Ability to differentiate between anecdotal evidence and scientifically validated information.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of quantum entanglement and its implications in physics.
  • Study the second law of thermodynamics and its relationship with entropy in closed systems.
  • Explore reputable scientific literature on quantum mechanics and thermodynamics.
  • Investigate the role of superposition in quantum systems and its effects on entropy.
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, researchers in quantum mechanics, and anyone interested in the foundational concepts of thermodynamics and entropy.

Many people talking about there are similarities and common positions in quantum entaglement and superposition with entropy. I need to know about this phenomenon

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 'Two equivalent statements of time reversal symmetric Hamiltonian'

Time reversal invariant Hamiltonians must satisfy ##[H,\Theta]=0## where ##\Theta## is time reversal operator. However, in some texts (for example see Many-body Quantum Theory in Condensed Matter Physics an introduction, HENRIK BRUUS and KARSTEN FLENSBERG, Corrected version: 14 January 2016, section 7.1.4) the time reversal invariant condition is introduced as ##H=H^*##. How these two conditions are identical?
