UCL Scientists Calculate Likelihood of Quantum Systems Violating Second Law of Thermodynamics

In two papers, published in this week’s issue of Physical Review X and funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, the team determined a more precise version of a basic law of physics – which says that disorder tends to increase with time unless acted on by an outside force – and applied it to the smallest quantum systems.
