According to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, entropy in the universe must always increase.
Technically, Second Law is backed by the H-theorem.
The H-theorem depends upon a statistical interpretation of the way molecules move around.
Where entropy increases, quantum information theory was able to offer a mathematical construct.
It anticipated that there are certain conditions where entropy might actually decrease in the short term.
In other words, a decrease in entropy.
Vinokur said: Although the violation is only on the local scale, the implications are far-reaching.
He further added that the finding finally, could make possible a local quantum perpetual motion machine.
