Probability as a Physical Motive
Entropy, 2007 Recent theoretical progress in nonequilibrium thermodynamics, linking thephysical principle of Maximum Entropy Production (“MEPâ€Â) to the information-theoretical“MaxEnt†principle of scientific inference, together with conjectures from

Entropy, holography and the second law [PDF]
, 2004 The geometric entropy in quantum field theory is not a Lorentz scalar and has no invariant meaning, while the black hole entropy is invariant. Renormalization of entropy and energy for reduced density matrices may lead to the negative free energy even if

The adiabatic piston: a perpetuum mobile in the mesoscopic realm
Entropy, 2004 : A detailed analysis of the adiabatic-piston problem reveals, for a finely-tuned choice of the spatial dimensions of the system, peculiar dynamical features that challenge the statement that an isolated system necessarily reaches a time-independent ...

Implementing Demons and Ratchets
Entropy, 2017 Experimental results show that ratchets may be implemented in semiconductor and chemical systems, bypassing the second law and opening up huge gains in energy production.

Bayesian second law of thermodynamics
Physical 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 ...

Editorial: Entropy in Landscape Ecology
Entropy, 2018 Entropy and the second law of thermodynamics are the central organizing principles of nature, but the ideas and implications of the second law are poorly developed in landscape ecology.

Fermi's golden rule and the second law of thermodynamics [PDF]
, 2020 We present a Gedankenexperiment that leads to a violation of detailed balance if quantum mechanical transition probabilities are treated in the usual way by applying Fermi's "golden rule".

Entropy, 2018 We investigate the effect of viscous dissipation on the thermal transport characteristics of heat and its consequence in terms of the entropy-generation rate in a circular Couette flow.
