Quantum Thermodynamics

Authors: Jochen Gemmer, M. Michel, Günter Mahler

Publisher: Springer; 2nd ed. edition 2009

ISBN-10: 3540705090

Type: PDF

Pages: 332

Size: 3.26 MB

Description:

This introductory text treats thermodynamics as an incomplete description of quantum systems with many degrees of freedom. Its main goal is to show that the approach to equilibrium - with equilibrium characterized by maximum ignorance about the open system of interest - neither requires that many particles nor is the precise way of partitioning, relevant for the salient features of equilibrium and equilibration. Furthermore, the text depicts that it is indeed quantum effects that are at work in bringing about thermodynamic behavior of modest-sized open systems, thus making Von Neumann’s concept of entropy appear much more widely useful than sometimes feared, far beyond truly macroscopic systems in equilibrium.

This significantly revised and expanded second edition pays more attention to the growing number of applications, especially non-equilibrium phenomena and thermodynamic processes of the nano-domain. In addition, to improve readability and reduce unneeded technical details, a large portion of this book has been thoroughly rewritten.

Part I Background

Chapter 1: Introduction

Chapter 2: Basics of Quantum Mechanics

Chapter 3: Basics of Thermodynamics and Statistics

Chapter 4: Brief Review of Pertinent Concepts

Part II Equilibrium
