The Role of Coherence in Thermodynamics
The law of large numbers kicks in when you consider large number of system. And that's how we get the second law of thermodynamics, which really determines an order and not a partial order. The moment you have more than one function, the transitions describe a partial order rather than a total order. We definitely see that we can do things with coherence that we cannot do without it. But to understand the full extent of what we can do with quantum coherence is an open problem,.
