A number of popular restrictions on the range of validity of thermodynamics are reviewed
and found to be invalid, and the separation into first law and second law analyses of a …

Steepest-entropy-ascent quantum thermodynamics (SEAQT) is an intriguing approach that
describes equilibrium and dynamic processes in a self-consistent way. To date, it has been …

The decomposition kinetics of a solid solution into separate phases are analyzed with an
equation of motion initially developed to account for dissipative processes in quantum …

Steepest-entropy-ascent quantum thermodynamics, or SEAQT, is a unified approach of
quantum mechanics and thermodynamics that avoids many of the inconsistencies that can …

The magnetization of body-centered cubic iron at low temperatures is calculated with the
steepest-entropy-ascent quantum thermodynamics (SEAQT) framework. This framework …

Abstract Theoretical predictions from Intrinsic Quantum Thermodynamics (IQT) are
compared to published experimental findings in order to examine whether or not …

Abstract Intrinsic Quantum Thermodynamics (IQT) is a theory that combines
Thermodynamics and Quantum Mechanics into a single theory and asserts that irreversibility …

Predicting the kinetics of a chemical reaction is a challenging task, particularly for systems in
states far from equilibrium. This work discusses the use of a relatively new theory known as …

Experimental evidence over the last three decades has seen the emergence at atomistic
scales of the phenomenon of “spontaneous decoherence”, which in turn has led to a revival …

INTRODUCTION In his authoritative review" General properties of entropy," Wehrl (1978)
writes:" It is paradoxical that although entropy is one of the most important quantities of …
