A variational upper bound on the ground state energy $E_{\rm gs}$ of a quantum system, $E_{\rm gs} \leqslant \langle \Psi|H| \Psi \rangle$, is well-known (here $H$ is the Hamiltonian of the system and $\Psi$ is an arbitrary wave function).…
We take the view that the standard von Neumann definition, in which the entropy $S^{vN}$ of a pure state is zero, is in evident conflict with the statement of the second law that the entropy of the universe $S_{univ}$ increases in…
