Description |
Dynamics of a closed system is deterministic and time reversal invariant. How does a thermodynamic description of such a system emerge? A partial answer comes from a study of quantum entanglement between parts of a closed system. Another intriguing hint comes from gravitational collapse into a black hole using the concept of gauge/gravity duality. In this colloquium I will review some of these developments, both theoretical and experimental, and present some recent results. |
