On the Conservation of Information and the Second Law of Thermodynamics How can these fundamental laws be consistent? The conservation of quantum information, quantified in term of von Neumann entropy, is a fundamental consequence of the linearity and unitarity of quantum mechanics.

How can these claims be…
