What's an intuitive way to understand entropy? This question was originally answered on Quora by Mark Eichenlaub.

Entropy is surely one of the most intriguing and misunderstood concepts in all of physics. The entropy of the universe must always increase – so says the second law of thermodynamics. It’s a ...

We establish an upper bound for the entropy, based on the eigenvalue interlacing property, and we incorporate this bound in a branch-and-bound algorithm for the exact solution of the problem. We ...

This paper proposes entropy balancing, a data preprocessing method to achieve covariate balance in observational studies with binary treatments. Entropy balancing relies on a maximum entropy ...

This innovative approach uses quantum relative entropy, a concept from quantum information theory, to describe the interplay between spacetime geometry and matter.

Time governs every aspect of our universe, yet what would happen if it suddenly ceased to exist? In this video we explore the ...
