Thermodynamics Far from the Thermodynamic Limit [PDF]
The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2017 Understanding how small systems exchange energy with a heat bath is important to describe how their unique properties can be affected by the environment. In this contribution, we apply Landsberg's theory of temperature-dependent energy levels to describe the progressive thermalization of small systems as their spectrum is perturbed by a heat bath.

Algorithmic thermodynamics [PDF]
Mathematical Structures in Computer Science, 2012 Algorithmic entropy can be viewed as a special case of the entropy studied in statistical mechanics. This viewpoint allows us to apply many techniques developed for use in thermodynamics to the subject of algorithmic information theory. In particular, suppose we fix a universal prefix-free Turing machine and letXbe the set of programs that halt for ...
