Work, heat and entropy production along quantum trajectories

open access: yes, 2018
Quantum open systems evolve according to completely positive, trace preserving maps acting on the density operator, which can equivalently be unraveled in term of so-called quantum trajectories. These stochastic sequences of pure states correspond to the

Second Law-Like Inequalities with Quantum Relative Entropy: An Introduction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We review the fundamental properties of the quantum relative entropy for finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. In particular, we focus on several inequalities that are related to the second law of thermodynamics, where the positivity and the monotonicity of

Quantum corrections to the thermodynamics of black branes

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2021
In this paper we study the thermodynamics of black branes at quantum scales. We analyze both perturbative and non-perturbative corrections to the thermodynamics of such black branes.

Zeroth and Second Laws of Thermodynamics Simultaneously Questioned in the Quantum Microworld

open access: yes, 2000
Several models of quantum open systems are known at present to violate, according to principles of the standard quantum theory of open systems, the second law of thermodynamics. Here, a new and rather trivial model of another type is suggested describing

Thermodynamics as a Consequence of Information Conservation [PDF]

open access: yesQuantum, 2019
Thermodynamics and information have intricate interrelations. Often thermodynamics is considered to be the logical premise to justify that $\textit{information is physical}$ - through Landauer's principle -, thereby also linking information and ...

Fundamental limitations for quantum and nano thermodynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The relationship between thermodynamics and statistical physics is valid in the thermodynamic limit - when the number of particles becomes very large. Here, we study thermodynamics in the opposite regime - at both the nano scale, and when quantum effects

Mechanochemical Synthesis and Characterization of Nanostructured ErB4 and NdB4 Rare‐Earth Tetraborides

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, Volume 27, Issue 6, March 2025.
ErB4 and NdB4 nanostructured powders are produced by mechanochemical synthesis. 5 h mechanical alloying and 4 M HCl acid leaching are used in the production. ErB4 and NdB4 powders exhibit maximum magnetization of 0.4726 emu g−1 accompanied with an antiferromagnetic‐to‐paramagnetic phase transition at about TN = 18 K and 0.132 emu g−1 with a maximum at ...

Thermodynamic Partition Function from Quantum Theory for Black Hole Horizons in Loop Quantum Gravity

open access: yesAdvances in High Energy Physics, 2016
We establish the link between the thermodynamics and the quantum theory of black hole horizons through the construction of the thermodynamic partition function, partly based on some physically plausible arguments, by beginning from the description of ...

Quantum simulation of chiral phase transitions

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2022
The Nambu–Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model has been widely studied for investigating the chiral phase structure of strongly interacting matter. The study of the thermodynamics of field theories within the framework of Lattice Field Theory is limited by the sign ...

A short story of quantum and information thermodynamics

open access: yesSciPost Physics Lecture Notes, 2021
This Colloquium is a fast journey through the build-up of key thermodynamical concepts, i.e. work, heat and irreversibility -- and how they relate to information.
