Mixing indistinguishable systems leads to a quantum Gibbs paradox
The Gibbs paradox stems from the entropy change upon mixing two gases. Here, by considering bosonic and fermionic statistics, the authors show that an observer unable to distinguish the particles’ spins assigns a greater entropy increase to the mixing process than is possible in classical physics.
