Saturation of entropy production in quantum many-body systems [PDF]
, 2017 Bridging the second law of thermodynamics and microscopic reversible dynamics has been a longstanding problem in statistical physics. We here address this problem on the basis of quantum many-body physics, and discuss how the entropy production saturates

Stochastic Hydrodynamics of Complex Fluids: Discretisation and Entropy Production. [PDF]
Entropy (Basel), 2022 Many complex fluids can be described by continuum hydrodynamic field equations, to which noise must be added in order to capture thermal fluctuations.

Beyond the Second Law: Darwinian Evolution as a Tendency for Entropy Production to Increase [PDF]
EntropyThere is much confusion about the apparent opposition between Darwinian evolution and the second law of thermodynamics. Both entropy and entropy production play more fundamental roles in the origin of life and Darwinian evolution than is generally ...

Entropy Production in the Theory of Heat Conduction in Solids [PDF]
Entropy, 2016 The evolution of the entropy production in solids due to heat transfer is usually associated with the Prigogine’s minimum entropy production principle.

Broken detailed balance and entropy production in the human brain. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2021 Significance To perform biological functions, living systems must break detailed balance by consuming energy and producing entropy. At microscopic scales, broken detailed balance enables a suite of molecular and cellular functions, including computations,

Thermodynamics of Thermoelectric Phenomena and Applications [PDF]
Entropy, 2011 Fifty years ago, the optimization of thermoelectric devices was analyzed by considering the relation between optimal performances and local entropy production. Entropy is produced by the irreversible processes in thermoelectric devices.

Universe, 2021 Double-spiral galaxies are common in the Universe. It is known that the logarithmic double spiral is a Maximum Entropy geometry in hyperbolic (flat) spacetime that well represents an idealised spiral galaxy, with its central supermassive black hole (SMBH)

Estimating time-dependent entropy production from non-equilibrium trajectories [PDF]
Communications Physics, 2022 While methods for estimating the entropy production rate of a stationary process are relatively well established, this is still a challenge in non-stationary conditions.

A model of entropy production [PDF]
Scientific ReportsA key tenet of the Transactional Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics is the idea that photon absorption localizes the absorbing material system. In doing so, it measures the location of the absorber and hence reduces information entropy which in turn ...

Entropy Production of Run-and-Tumble Particles [PDF]
EntropyWe analyze the entropy production in run-and-tumble models. After presenting the general formalism in the framework of the Fokker–Planck equations in one space dimension, we derive some known exact results in simple physical situations (free run-and ...
