Entropy and perpetual computers | | Somendra M. Bhattacharjee

15 Oct 2003 | | Journal: | Phys.Teacher 45 (2003) 12 | | Subject: | Statistical Mechanics | cond-mat.stat-mech hep-lat hep-th quant-ph | | Abstract: | A definition of entropy via the Kolmogorov algorithmic complexity is discussed. As examples, we show how the meanfield theory for the Ising model, and the entropy of a perfect gas can be recovered. The connection with computations are pointed out, by paraphrasing the laws of thermodynamics for computers. Also discussed is an approach that may be adopted to develop statistical mechanics using the algorithmic point of view. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0310332 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
