Entropy, holography, and the second law.
The geometric entropy in quantum field theory is not a Lorentz scalar and has no invariant meaning, while the black hole entropy is invariant. Renormalization of entropy and energy for reduced density matrices may lead to the negative free energy even if no boundary conditions are imposed. The presence of particles outside the horizon of a uniformly accelerated observer prevents the description...
متن کامل/ 9902088 Holography , Cosmology and the Second Law of Thermodynamics
We propose that in time dependent backgrounds the holographic principle should be replaced by the generalized second law of thermodynamics. For isotropic open and flat universes with a fixed equation of state, the generalized second law agrees with the cosmological holographic principle proposed by Fischler and Susskind. However, in more complicated spacetimes the two proposals disagree. A modi...

متن کاملMeasuring the Entropy and Testing the Second Law of Thermodynamics
Evidence implies that basic laws of thermodynamics must be tested by experiments. In this paper, an experiment is designed to measure the entropy of a system with at least one known (measurable) equation of state, especially the gas systems. Since the entropy can be measured now, the formulae related to the second law of thermodynamics can be examined by other experiments.
متن کاملEntropy Generation in Computation and the Second Law of Thermodynamics
Landauer discussed the minimum energy necessary for computation and stated that erasure of information is accompanied by heat generation to the amount of kT ln 2/bit. Modifying the above statement, we claim that erasure of information is accompanied by entropy generation k ln 2/bit. Some new concepts will be introduced in the field of thermodynamics that are implicitly included in our statement...
