New Special Issue "Entropy in Foundations of Quantum Physics II"

Dear Colleagues,

Entropy can be used in studies on foundations of quantum physics in many different ways, each of them based on different properties of this mathematical object. First of all, entropy can be intuitively understood, and we can exploit this fact by finding ways to derive predictions of quantum mechanics without employing the full mathematical apparatus of that theory. Instead, we can propose operational axioms to more easily understand and try to find the reasons why the universe behaves in the way it does.

In addition, it is very convenient to use entropy in different aspects of information processing. It is therefore an indispensable tool for quantum information theory, which has recently led to most breakthroughs in foundations of physics.

Finally, the sheer ubiquity of entropy in physics and other fields makes it a possible bridge between different areas, enabling us to carry insights from one field to another. I encourage all authors who are pursuing research on similar topics to submit their works for this Special Issue.
