The Holographic Model of Dark Energy and Thermodynamics of Non-Flat Accelerated Expanding Universe [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Bayesian second law of thermodynamics

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2016
We derive a generalization of the Second Law of Thermodynamics that uses Bayesian updates to explicitly incorporate the effects of a measurement of a system at some point in its evolution. By allowing an experimenter's knowledge to be updated by the measurement process, this formulation resolves a tension between the fact that the entropy of a ...

Deduction of Lorentz Transformations from Classical Thermodynamics

open access: yesEntropy, 2015
The Lorentz transformations are obtained by assuming that the laws of classical thermodynamics are invariant under changes of inertial reference frames.

Quantum Thermodynamics: A Nonequilibrium Green's Functions Approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We establish the foundations of a nonequilibrium theory of quantum thermodynamics for noninteracting open quantum systems strongly coupled to their reservoirs within the framework of the nonequilibrium Green functions (NEGF). The energy of the system and

Sustainability And Planning. Thinking and Acting According to Thermodinamics Laws

open access: yesTeMA: Journal of Land Use, Mobility and Environment, 2014
The paper deals with environmental sustainability, in terms of intrinsic vulnerability and thermodynamics laws concepts, applied to urban green infrastructures.

Stochastic thermodynamics and hierarchy of fluctuation theorems with multiple reservoirs

open access: yesNew 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]

open access: yesQuantum, 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.

Quantum thermodynamics of the resonant-level model with driven system-bath coupling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We study nonequilibrium thermodynamics in a fermionic resonant level model with arbitrary coupling strength to a fermionic bath, taking the wide-band limit.

Thermodynamics: The Unique Universal Science

open access: yesEntropy, 2017
Thermodynamics is a physical branch of science that governs the thermal behavior of dynamical systems from those as simple as refrigerators to those as complex as our expanding universe.

Fundamental Work Cost of Quantum Processes

open access: yesPhysical Review X, 2018
Information-theoretic approaches provide a promising avenue for extending the laws of thermodynamics to the nanoscale. Here, we provide a general fundamental lower limit, valid for systems with an arbitrary Hamiltonian and in contact with any ...
