Quantum corrections for thermodynamics [PDF]

Il Nuovo Cimento B, 1978
We generalize an expression for the trace of an operator due to Nishijima and derive, without the use of tedious mathematics, the Kirkwood expansion for the quantum-mechanical partition function. This expansion is applied to three simple systems and its use for more complex systems is thereby made clear.

2D Multifunctional Spin‐Orbit Coupled Dirac Nodal Line Materials

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A total of 473 nonmagnetic and antiferromagnetic 2D spin‐orbit coupled Dirac nodal line materials are screened, spanning 5 layer groups and 12 magnetic space groups. Furthermore, it integrates their topological properties with electride, multiferroic, and magnetic characteristics, revealing unique systems with expanded functionalities and promising ...

Thermodynamic Unification of Optimal Transport: Thermodynamic Uncertainty Relation, Minimum Dissipation, and Thermodynamic Speed Limits

Physical Review X, 2023
Thermodynamics serves as a universal means for studying physical systems from an energy perspective. In recent years, with the establishment of the field of stochastic and quantum thermodynamics, the ideas of thermodynamics have been generalized to small

Explanation of the Gibbs paradox within the framework of quantum thermodynamics

, 2006
The issue of the Gibbs paradox is that when considering mixing of two gases within classical thermodynamics, the entropy of mixing appears to be a discontinuous function of the difference between the gases: it is finite for whatever small difference, but

Controlled Aggregation of Pyrene‐Based Supramolecular Nanostructures for Light‐Driven Switchable H2 or H2O2 Production

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work reports the self‐assembly of a pyrene derivative into two distinct nanostructures and their application in visible‐light photocatalysis. The two nanostructures exhibit completely different yet complementary photocatalytic activities, promoting either H2 or H2O2 evolution.

Quantum thermodynamics in adiabatic open systems and its trapped-ion experimental realization [PDF]

, 2019
Quantum thermodynamics aims at investigating both the emergence and the limits of the laws of thermodynamics from a quantum mechanical microscopic approach.

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of quantum coherence beyond linear response

Communications Physics
Quantum thermodynamics allows for the interconversion of quantum coherence and mechanical work. Quantum coherence is thus a potential physical resource for quantum machines.

Second law of thermodynamics is ingrained within quantum mechanics

Results in Physics, 2018
We show that the second law of thermodynamics is rooted in quantum mechanics, inasmuch as allowing the substitution of the Boltzmann constant k and temperature with respectively the Planck constant and quantum numbers. In particular, we will see that the
