Thermodynamic Properties of Non-Equilibrium States in Quantum Field Theory

چکیده
Within the framework of relativistic quantum field theory, a novel method is established which allows to distinguish non-equilibrium states admitting locally a thermodynamic interpretation. The basic idea is to compare these states with global equilibrium states (KMS states) by means of local thermal observables. With the help of such observables, the states can be ordered into classes of increasing local thermal stability. Moreover, it is possible to identify states exhibiting certain specific thermal properties of interest, such as a definite local temperature or entropy density. The method is illustrated in a simple model describing the spatio-temporal evolution of a “big heat bang”.

The effect of increasing quantum bits and Unruh effect on quantum Prisoners’ dilemma has been investigated for both entangled and unentangled initial states. The Nash equilibrium, as an important result of quantum game theory, was obtained through the different payoffs resulted from choosing various strategies. It has been shown that the non-inertial frame disturbs the symmetry of the game. Act...
متن کاملNon-extensive Entropy and Quasi-Equilibrium States in Hamiltonian Mean-Field Model
We investigate the thermodynamic properties of Hamiltonian mean-field(HMF) model as a prototypical long-range system by means of the non-extensive thermostatistics. Especially, the quasi-equilibrium state as extremum state of the generalized Tsallis entropy is studied and its thermodynamic stability is analyzed. Based on these analysis, the connection with quasi-stationary behaviors found in th...

In this article, the second quantization method has been used to investigate some thermodynamic properties of spin-polarized metallic nanowire in the presence of magnetic field at zero temperature. We have been observed that in different magnetic field, the equilibrium energy of system increases as the density increases. The spin-polarization parameter corresponding to the equilibrium state of ...

The effect of impurities on quantum chemical parameters of single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) was studied using density functional theory (DFT). The density of states (DOS), Fermi energy and thermodynamic energies of (5,5) carbon nanotubes were calculated in the presence of nitrogen impurity. It was found that this nanotube remains metallic after being doped with one nitrogen atom. The partial den...
متن کاملOn quantum field theories with finitely many degrees of freedom
The existence of inequivalent representations in quantum field theory with finitely many degrees of freedom is shown. Their properties are exemplified and analysed for concrete and simple models. In particular the relations to Bogoliubov–Valatin quasi-particles, to thermo field dynamics, and to q–deformed quantum theories are put foreward. The thermal properties of the non-trivial vacuum are gi...
