Going from Lord Kelvin's View of God to A Quantum Computer Reducing Entropy



Author(s): John H Jennings

Abstract:

Lord Kelvin believed the universe has a “heat death,” created with only so much energy, having stuck to his Presbyterian beliefs. So, Kelvin believed that only God could create or destroy energy. (1) Then, what follows from that is that any isolated system can never become more orderly. Recently, a quantum chip was invented by GOOGLE that appears to break this law. It does not, but the quantum computer is capable of beating the Carnot efficiency of η = (TH – TC) / TH, which is for a thermal heat engine where TH is the Kelvin temperature of the hot source and TC is the Kelvin temperature of the cold sink. Today’s car engines have Carnot efficiencies of 20% compared to their Carnot efficiency of 37% because of friction and heat loss. Researchers have shown that a non-thermal integrable system can be supplied with waste heat (2) to convert to useful work by energy harvesting. The efficiency of this quantum device has been shown to be higher than what Carnot proved. (2) The work produced can be used to reduce entropy.
