The classical Gibbs paradox concerns the entropy change upon mixing two gases. Whether an observer assigns an entropy increase to the process depends on their ability to distinguish the gases. A resolution is that an "ignorant" observer, who cannot d... Read More about Mixing indistinguishable systems leads to a quantum Gibbs paradox.
