Non-equilibrium thermodynamics of quantum processes
Thermodynamics is one of the pillars of physical, chemical and biological sciences. It is able to predict the occurrence and efficiency of complex chemical reactions and biological processes. In physics, the conduction of heat across a medium or the concept of the arrow of time are formulated thermodynamically. In information theory, the definitions of information and entropy are given in therm...
متن کاملDynamic versus thermodynamic approach to non-canonical equilibrium
We study the dynamic and thermodynamic origin of non-canonical equilibria, and we discuss their connection with the generalized central limit theorem and the micro-canonical Boltzmann principle. We reach the conclusion that the zeroth law of thermodynamics and the Boltzmann principle are fulfilled thanks to an apparent fault turned into a benefit: the dynamic approach can only produce a truncat...
متن کاملEquilibrium time-correlation functions for one-dimensional hard-point systems.
As recently proposed, the long-time behavior of equilibrium time-correlation functions for one-dimensional systems are expected to be captured by a nonlinear extension of fluctuating hydrodynamics. We outline the predictions from the theory aimed at the comparison with molecular dynamics. We report on numerical simulations of a fluid with a hard-shoulder potential and of a hard-point gas with a...
متن کاملEquilibrium Time Correlation Functions in the Low-Density Limit
We consider a system of hard spheres in thermal equilibrium. Using Lanford's result about the convergence of the solutions of the BBGKY hierarchy to the solutions of the Boltzmann hierarchy, we show that in the low-density limit (Boltzmann-Grad limit): (i) the total time correlation function is governed by the linearized Boltzmann equation (proved to be valid for short times), (ii) the self tim...
متن کاملLow temperature equilibrium correlation functions in dissipative quantum systems
We introduce a new theoretical approach to dissipative quantum systems. By means of a continuous sequence of infinitesimal unitary transformations, we decouple the small quantum system that one is interested in from its thermodynamically large environment. This yields a trivial final transformed Hamiltonian. Dissipation enters through the observation that generically observables “decay” complet...
