Entropy

Topological entropy in physics

The topological entanglement entropy or topological entropy, usually denoted by , is a number characterizing many-body states that possess topological order. A non-zero topological entanglement entropy reflects the presence of long range quantum entanglements in a many-body quantum state. So the topological entanglement entropy links topological order with pattern of long range quantum entanglements. Given a topologically ordered state, the topological entropy can be extracted from the asymptotic behavior of the Von Neumann entropy measuring the quantum entanglement between a spatial block and the rest of the system. The entanglement entropy of a simply connected region of boundary length L, within an infinite two-dimensional topologically ordered state, has the following form for large L: where is the topological entanglement entropy. The topological entanglement entropy is equal to the logarithm of the total of the quasiparticle excitations of the state. For example, the simplest fractional quantum Hall states, the Laughlin states at filling fraction 1/m, have γ = ½log(m). The Z2 fractionalized states, such as topologically ordered states of Z2 spin-liquid, quantum dimer models on non-bipartite lattices, and Kitaev's toric code state, are characterized γ = log(2).

Entropy is NOT About Disorder

Entropy is often taught as a measure of how disordered or how mixed up a system is, but this definition never really sat right with me. How is "disorder" defined and why is one way of arranging things any more disordered than another? It wasn't until much later in my physics career that I

http://www.teachastronomy.com/ The entropy of the universe is a measure of its disorder or chaos. If the laws of thermodynamics apply to the universe as a whole as they do to individual objects or systems within the universe, then the fate of the universe must be to increase in entropy.

Entropy's role on Thermodynamics

Thermodynamics depends on enthalpy, but it also depends on entropy. Entropy is a quantitative measure of the disorder of a system. We can see how reactions tend to go from order to disorder. At best they can switch between the two reversibly (second law of thermodynamics). There exist reac
