Generalized laws of thermodynamics in the presence of correlations. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2017 In presence of inter-system correlations, violations of the laws of thermodynamics become possible. Here, the authors develop a formalism redefining heat, work and thermodynamic laws in terms of quantum conditional entropy, which consistently generalize ...

Holographic second laws of black hole thermodynamics [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 Recently, it has been shown that for out-of-equilibrium systems, there are additional constraints on thermodynamical evolution besides the ordinary second law.

BMJ, 1999 I was sitting on the end of the old man's bed listening to stories of his life. I was a medical student at the time. The odd thing, he had said, was that the world made no more sense to him then than it had when he was a boy. He had thought that things would become clearer with age. I remember the perplexity in his watery eyes.

The second laws of quantum thermodynamics [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015 Significance In ordinary thermodynamics, transitions are governed by a single quantity–the free energy. Its monotonicity is a formulation of the second law. Here, we find that the second law for microscopic or highly correlated systems takes on a very different form than it does at the macroscopic scale, imposing not just one constraint on ...

The Third Law of Thermodynamics [PDF]
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 1934 The invariance of statistical weights requires that the entropy of any phase approach zero at 0°K. The uncertainty principle, however, makes it impossible to define a state of absolute zero for a substance whose lowest energy states are closely spaced multiplets.

A Symmetric Form of the Clausius Statement of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. [PDF]
Entropy (Basel)Bridgman once reflected on thermodynamics that the laws of thermodynamics were formulated in their present form by the great founders of thermodynamics, Kelvin and Clausius, before all the essential physical facts were in, and there has been no adequate ...

Quantum Thermodynamics: A Dynamical Viewpoint
Entropy, 2013 Quantum thermodynamics addresses the emergence of thermodynamic laws from quantum mechanics. The viewpoint advocated is based on the intimate connection of quantum thermodynamics with the theory of open quantum systems. Quantum mechanics inserts dynamics

Status of the Fundamental Laws of Thermodynamics [PDF]
, 2006 We describe recent progress towards deriving the Fundamental Laws of thermodynamics (the 0th, 1st, and 2nd Law) from nonequilibrium quantum statistical mechanics in simple, yet physically relevant models.
