Entropy: Part II — Thermodynamics and Perfect Order

Elias P. Gyftopoulos

Abstract Part II of this two-part paper refutes the beliefs about the statistical interpretation of thermodynamics, and the association of entropy with disorder that are summarized in Part I. The refutation of the statistical approach is based on either a nonstatistical unified quantum theory of mechanics and thermodynamics, or an almost equivalent, novel, nonquantal exposition of thermodynamics. Entropy is shown to be: (i) valid for any system (both macroscopic and microscopic, including one-particle systems), and any state (both thermodynamic or stable equilibrium, and not stable equilibrium); (ii) a measure of the quantum-theoretic pliable shape of the molecules of a system; and (iii) a monotonic indicator of order. In contrast to statistics which associates a thermodynamic equilibrium macrostate with the largest number of compatible microstates, the second law avers that, for each set of values of energy, volume, and amounts of constituents of either a macroscopic or a microscopic system, there exists one and only one thermodynamic or stable equilibrium state. So, even if Boltzmann’s definition were used, a thermodynamic equilibrium state is one of perfect order.

Collective and optical phenomena in equilibrium and nonequilibrium interacting quantum systems

Eduardo Carlo Mascarenhas Moraes

In this thesis we study collective, emergent and optical properties of interacting quantum systems both in equilibrium and nonequilibrium situations from a microscopic modelling. This orientation steams from both the fact there is a profound need to design, characterise and set up control strategies for realistic systems in which quantum technologies could be conceived and the interest to grasp and identify fundamental principles for the emergence of macroscopic behaviour. The thesis is divided into three parts: I Optical and Collective Phenomena; II Equilibrium many-body systems and III Nonequilibrium many-body systems. Part I includes four complementary contributions to the optics emerging from the collective behaviour of microscopic quantum systems. In part II (Equilibrium many-body systems) of the thesis I have addressed the physics of quantum phase transitions from the perspective of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. We have shown that such an approach captures the essential features of finite order transitions that have a strong connection to thermodynamical and energetic figures of merit, but does not capture infinite order transitions that are of a much more subtle nature. Motivated by these exotic infinite order transitions we have looked at quantum phases and phase transitions through an informational and operational perspective based on pure state conversions restricted by local operations. In the third and last part (Nonequilibrium many-body systems) of the thesis I have laid out a project on the closed evolution of quantum spin chains focussing on the emergent nonequilibrium laws that depart from equilibrium physics.

Dynamics of correlations of fermions in lattices : application of the time-dependent two-particle reduced density matrix method

Stefan Donsa

Correlations in many-body quantum states lead to interesting phenomena while at the same time being enormously difficult to describe theoretically. Recent experiments conducted with ultracold atoms in optical lattices allow to explore quantum many-body correlations in a controlled and tunable way. The underlying theoretical model is the single-band Hubbard model. In this thesis we investigate the one-dimensional Hubbard model by applying the newly developed time-dependent two-particle reduced density matrix method. The method is based upon the assumption that three-particle correlations are negligible. We assess this approximation for equilibrium and non-equilibrium states. We show that the method is well suited for weakly interacting and weakly correlated systems.
