This scientist's diffusion model uses Markov chains and provides an alternative to the statistical interpretation of the second law of thermodynamics.
This scientist's diffusion model uses Markov chains and provides an alternative to the statistical interpretation of the second law of thermodynamics. He developed a classification scheme for phase transitions that looks at discontinuities in the derivative of the free energy. His namesake paradox notes that a rigidly rotating disc should have a Lorentz- contracted circumference, but an unchanged radius. But, he is best known for his theorem which relates the time derivative of the expectation of a quantum operator to its commutator. For ten points, identify this formulator of the quantum analogue of Newton's Second Law.
