F eb 2 00 1 Zeroth and Second Laws of Thermodynamics Simultaneously Questioned in the
نویسنده
چکیده
Several models of quantum open systems are known at present to violate, according to principles of the standard quantum theory of open systems, the second law of thermodynamics. Here, a new and rather trivial model of another type is suggested describing mechanism that violates, according to the same principles, the zeroth and the second laws of thermodynamics simultaneously. Up to a technically minor modification, the model resembles some models already known, solved by standard means, and properly understood. Universal validity of two basic principles of thermodynamics in strictly quantum situations is thus simultaneously called in question.

Thermodynamics second law and ω = −1 crossing(s) in interacting holographic dark energy model Abstract By the assumption that the thermodynamics second law is valid, we study the possibility of ω = −1 crossing in an interacting holographic dark energy model. Depending on the choice of the horizon and the interaction, the transition from quintessence to phantom regime and subsequently from phant...
متن کاملThermodynamic laws in isolated systems.
The recent experimental realization of exotic matter states in isolated quantum systems and the ensuing controversy about the existence of negative absolute temperatures demand a careful analysis of the conceptual foundations underlying microcanonical thermostatistics. Here we provide a detailed comparison of the most commonly considered microcanonical entropy definitions, focusing specifically...

Lattice QCD allows us to simulate QCD at non-zero temperature and/or densities. Such equilibrium thermodynamics calculations are relevant to the physics of relativistic heavy-ion collisions. I give a brief review of the field with emphasis on our work.

Sadi Carnot’s ingenious reasoning of reversible cycles (1824) laid foundations for The Second Law before The First Law of energy conservation was even known (Joule 1843) and long before Thermodynamic concepts were established in 1850s. A century later, Bridgman (1941) ‘complained’ that “there are almost as many formulations of The Second Law as there have been discussions of it.” Even today, Th...
