AIP Advances, 2022 We systematically apply the resolution to the configurational entropy paradox from our previous paper [V. Baranau and U. Tallarek, J. Chem. Phys. 147, 224503 (2017)] to study configurational entropies and the glass transition in polydisperse hard-sphere ...

No Warfare: Let us render unto metaphor’s paradox we live by
NUML Journal of Critical Inquiry, 2019 This essay discusses metaphor as a cognitive paradox. It is divided into two parts. The first part outlines a schema explaining the paradox that the authors call ‘prodigal-within-prodigy’ in terms of how metaphor conception creates a contextual ...

Quantum simulation of thermodynamics in an integrated quantum photonic processor
Nature Communications, 2023 One of the core questions of quantum physics is how to reconcile the unitary evolution of quantum states, which is information-preserving and time-reversible, with evolution following the second law of thermodynamics, which, in general, is neither.

Clausius versus Sackur-Tetrode entropies [PDF]
, 2013 Based on the property of extensivity (mathematically, homogeneity of first degree), we derive in a mathematically consistent manner the explicit expressions of the chemical potential $\mu$ and the Clausius entropy $S$ for the case of monoatomic ideal ...

In Defense of Gibbs and the Traditional Definition of the Entropy of Distinguishable Particles
Entropy, 2010 The traditional Gibbs’ calculation of the entropy of distinguishable classical particles that leads to Gibbs Paradox has been criticized recently. This criticism, if valid, would require a substantially different definition of entropy in general. However,

On the proper treatment of improper distributions [PDF]
, 2017 The axiomatic foundation of probability theory presented by Kolmogorov has been the basis of modern theory for probability and statistics. In certain applications it is, however, necessary or convenient to allow improper (unbounded) distributions, which ...

Thermodynamics of the System of Distinguishable Particles
Entropy, 2009 The issue of the thermodynamics of a system of distinguishable particles is discussed in this paper. In constructing the statistical mechanics of distinguishable particles from the definition of Boltzmann entropy, it is found that the entropy is not ...

, 2021 Molecular collision within an ideal gas originates from an intrinsic short-range repulsive interaction. The collision reduces the average accessible physical space for a single molecule and this has a direct consequence on the entropy of the gas. The accessibility of a molecule to a spatial coordinate (x, y, z) inside the system depends on the local ...

The Canonical Partition Function for Quons [PDF]
, 1994 We calculate the canonical partition function $Z_N$ for a system of $N$ free particles obeying so-called `quon' statistics where $q$ is real and satisfies $|q|
