Intrinsic mechanism for entropy change in classical and quantum evolution.
It is shown that the existence of a time operator in the Liouville space representation of both classical and quantum evolution provides a mechanism for effective entropy change of physical states. In particular, an initially effectively pure state can evolve under the usual unitary evolution to an effectively mixed state.
متن کاملMicroscopic chaos and macroscopic entropy in fluids
In nonequilibrium thermodynamics macroscopic entropy creation plays an important role. Here we study, from various viewpoints, its relation with the phase space contraction, which has been recently proposed as an apparently alternative quantity.
متن کاملComposable entropy and deviation from macroscopic equilibrium
We formulate, under general conditions, the problem of maximisation of the total entropy of the system, assumed to be in a composable form, for fixed total value of the constrained quantity. We derive the general form of the composability function and also point out the criterion which leads to a violation of the zeroth law of thermodynamics. ∗e-mail: [email protected]
متن کاملMultiscale Mesoscopic Entropy of Driven Macroscopic Systems
How do macroscopic systems react to imposed external forces? Attempts to answer this question by a general principle have a long history. The general feeling is that the macroscopic systems in their reaction to imposed external forces follow some kind of optimization strategy in which their internal structure is changed so that they offer the least possible resistance. What is the potential inv...
متن کاملEntropy, Order and Disorder
Entropy is one of the few physical properties of a system that cannot be measured directly, but must be deduced or calculated from other properties. It is also a property that has been defined in a rather abstract sense and has not been connected to another observable property or physical variable. Since its formulation as a thermodynamic property, entropy has been linked to the concepts of ord...
