On Quantum Collapse as a Basis for the Second Law of Thermodynamics

On Quantum Collapse as a Basis for the Second Law of Thermodynamics

It was first suggested by David Z. Albert that the existence of a real, physical non-unitary process (i.e., “collapse”) at the quantum level would yield a complete explanation for the Second Law of Thermodynamics (i.e., the increase in entropy over time). The contribution of such a process would be...
