PRX Quantum, 2021 Deriving the laws of thermodynamics from a microscopic picture is a central quest of statistical mechanics. This tutorial focuses on the derivation of the first and second law for isolated and open quantum systems far from equilibrium, where such ...

The Second Law Of Thermodynamics as a Force Law [PDF]
Entropy, 2018 The second law of thermodynamics states the increase of entropy, Delta S > 0, for real processes from state A to state B at constant energy from chemistry over biological life and engines to cosmic events. The connection of entropy to information, phase-space and heat is helpful, but does not immediately convince observers of the validity and ...

The Holographic Model of Dark Energy and Thermodynamics of Non-Flat Accelerated Expanding Universe [PDF]
, 2006 Motivated by recent results on non-vanishing spatial curvature \cite{curve} we employ the holographic model of dark energy to investigate the validity of first and second laws of thermodynamics in non-flat (closed) universe enclosed by apparent horizon ...

Deduction of Lorentz Transformations from Classical Thermodynamics
Entropy, 2015 The Lorentz transformations are obtained by assuming that the laws of classical thermodynamics are invariant under changes of inertial reference frames.

Thermodynamic Properties of Spherically-Symmetric, Uniformly-Accelerated Reference Frames [PDF]
, 2007 We aim to study the thermodynamic properties of the spherically symmetric reference frames with uniform acceleration, including the spherically symmetric generalization of Rindler reference frame and the new kind of uniformly accelerated reference frame.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics [PDF]
Nature, 1905 Is it not true that the Second Law of Thermodynamics is contradicted by the known facts of diffusion? When, for instance, masses of hydrogen and nitrogen are separated by a palladium partition, a difference of pressure is set up, owing to the diffusion of some of the hydrogen into the compartment which at first contained only nitrogen.

Stochastic thermodynamics and hierarchy of fluctuation theorems with multiple reservoirs
New Journal of Physics, 2018 We reformulate stochastic thermodynamics in terms of noise realizations for Langevin systems in contact with multiple reservoirs and investigate the structure of the second laws of thermodynamics.

The first law of general quantum resource theories [PDF]
Quantum, 2020 We extend the tools of quantum resource theories to scenarios in which multiple quantities (or resources) are present, and their interplay governs the evolution of physical systems.

Physical Review Letters, 2015 The second law of thermodynamics places a limitation into which states a system can evolve into. For systems in contact with a heat bath, it can be combined with the law of energy conservation, and it says that a system can only evolve into another if ...

Unless Connected to Relativity the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics Are Incompatible [PDF]
Journal of Applied Mathematics and Physics, 2009 The first part of this paper is a condensed synthesis of the matter presented in several previous ones. It begins with an argumentation showing that the first and second laws of thermodynamics are incompatible with one another if they are not connected ...
