How Shannon Entropy Bridges Classical and Quantum Physics

Researchers resolved the apparent paradox between quantum mechanics and classical thermodynamics by demonstrating that while von Neumann entropy remains constant in quantum systems, Shannon entropy increases over time just as classical entropy does, thereby reconciling quantum theory with the second law of thermodynamics.
