Entropy in chemical thermodynamics
... constant of proportionality k depends on what units are chosen to measure S. When SI units are chosen, we have k = kB = Boltzmann's constant = 1.38066×10−23 J K−1. If units of bits are chosen, then k = 1/ln(2) so that ...

... between a directional quantum reference frame and a spin-1/2 particle has on the ability of QRF to act as a reliable reference for future measurements. We show that each time one of these spin-1/2 particles is measured against the QRF, it causes the reference frame to suffer from a back-action which ...

Hilbert Space Quantum Mechanics
... Hilbert space, or the system it represents, is referred to as a qubit (pronounced “cubit”). However, there are disanalogies as well. Linear combinations like 0.3|0i + 0.7i|1i make perfectly good sense in the Hilbert space, and have a respectable physical interpretation, but there is nothing analogou ...

Second Law of Thermodynamics
... To this point we have considered only reversible processes in which a system moves through a series of equilibrium states. However, all natural processes are irreversible since they move a system from a nonequilibrium state toward a condition of equilibrium. The second law can be stated more general ...

Atoms can have different overall spin, which determines whether they are fermions or bosons—for example, helium-3 has spin 1/2 and is therefore a fermion, in contrast to helium-4 which has spin 0, making it a boson. As such, the Pauli exclusion principle underpins many propertie ...
