Continuum mechanics beyond the second law of thermodynamics.
The results established in contemporary statistical physics indicating that, on very small space and time scales, the entropy production rate may be negative, motivate a generalization of continuum mechanics. On account of the fluctuation theorem, it is recognized that the evolution of entropy at a material point is stochastically (not deterministically) conditioned by the past history, with an...

متن کاملThe second law of Thermodynamics as a theorem in quantum mechanics
We treat a quantum mechanical system with certain general properties which are expected to be common in macroscopic quantum systems. Starting from a pure initial state in which energy is mildly concentrated at a single value, we consider a time evolution determined by a time-dependent Hamiltonian as a model of an adiabatic operation in thermodynamics. We take a family of operations with the sam...
متن کاملValidity of the second law in nonextensive quantum thermodynamics.
The second law of thermodynamics in nonextensive statistical mechanics is discussed in the quantum regime. Making use of the convexity property of the generalized relative entropy associated with the Tsallis entropy indexed by q, Clausius' inequality is shown to hold in the range q in (0, 2]. This restriction on the range of the entropic index, q, is purely quantum mechanical and there exists n...
متن کاملSecond law of thermodynamics with discrete quantum feedback control.
A new thermodynamic inequality is derived which leads to the maximum work that can be extracted from multi-heat-baths with the assistance of discrete quantum feedback control. The maximum work is determined by the free-energy difference and a generalized mutual information content between the thermodynamic system and the feedback controller. This maximum work can exceed that in conventional the...
