On the quasi-static evolution of nonequilibrium steady states
The quasi-static evolution of steady states far from equilibrium is investigated from the point of view of quantum statistical mechanics. As a concrete example of a thermodynamic system, a two-level quantum dot coupled to several reservoirs of free fermions at different temperatures is considered. A novel adiabatic theorem for unbounded and nonnormal generators of evolution is proven and applie...
متن کاملNonequilibrium steady states
This paper contains rigorous results on nonequilibrium steady states for a class of particle systems coupled to unequal heat baths. These stochastic models are derived from the mechanical chains studied by Eckmann and Young by randomizing certain quantities while retaining other features of the model. Our results include the existence and uniqueness of nonequilibrium steady states, their relati...
متن کاملCorrelations in Nonequilibrium Steady States
We present the results of a detailed study of energy correlations at steady state for a 1-D model of coupled energy and matter transport. Our aim is to discover — via theoretical arguments, conjectures, and numerical simulations — how spatial covariances scale with system size, their relations to local thermodynamic quantities, and the randomizing effects of heat baths. Among our findings are t...
متن کاملComments on the Entropy of nonequilibrium Steady States
We discuss the entropy of nonequilibrium steady states. We analyze the so-called spontaneous production of entropy in certain reversible deterministic nonequilibrium system, and its link with the collapse of such systems towards an attractor that is of lower dimension than the dimension of phase space. This means that in the steady state limit, the Gibbs entropy diverges to negative infinity. W...
متن کاملA possible classification of nonequilibrium steady states
We propose a general classification of nonequilibrium steady states in terms of their stationary probability distribution and the associated probability currents. The stationary probabilities can be represented graph-theoretically as directed Cayley trees; closing a single loop in such a graph leads to a representation of probability currents. This classification allows us to identify all choic...
