Lab 7: Quantum Thermodynamics – Entropy in Motion
🧭 Objective#
To explore entropy, temperature gradients, and quantum microstates using triadic mappings of system configuration, energy flow, and informational order.
🧪 Materials#
- Quantum simulator (e.g., Qiskit)
- Thermodynamic ensemble models
- Entropy calculators (Shannon, von Neumann)
- Optional: Open quantum systems toolkit
🛠️ Procedure#
- Simulate quantum systems with varying microstates.
- Apply temperature gradients and observe entropy flux.
- Compare classical vs quantum entropy metrics.
📐 Triadic Mapping#
- Object: Quantum microstate configuration
- Attribute: Temperature gradient
- Condition: Entropy flux
🎭 Mythic Motif#
“Entropy is not chaos—it is the rhythm of change.”
