Entropy also increases in initially ordered quantum systems until it reaches a final state of disorder. Entropy and the direction of time Equating 'entropy' with 'disorder' is not entirely correct.

A team of physicists has computationally constructed a two-dimensional material that behaves like a paradox: it is disordered ...
