Abstract

A definition of entropy production for quantum Markov semigroups is proposed, based on the classical probabilistic concept, and illustrated by an example.

HOW SHOULD ONE DEFINE ENTROPY PRODUCTION FOR NONEQUILIBRIUM QUANTUM SPIN SYSTEMS?

David Pierre Ruelle

This paper discusses entropy production in nonequilibrium steady states for infinite quantum spin systems. Rigorous results have been obtained recently in this area, but a physical discussion shows that some questions of principle remain to be clarified.

A CYCLE DECOMPOSITION AND ENTROPY PRODUCTION FOR CIRCULANT QUANTUM MARKOV SEMIGROUPS

Jorge R. Bolaños-Servín, Roberto B. Quezada

We propose a definition of cycle representation for Quantum Markov Semigroups (QMS) and of Quantum Entropy Production Rate (QEPR) in terms of the ρ-adjoint. We introduce the class of circulant QMS, which admit non-equilibrium steady states but exhibit symmetries that allow us to compute explicitly the QEPR, gain a deeper insight into the notion of cycle decomposition and prove that quantum detailed balance holds if and only if the QEPR equals zero.

Entropy Production for Quantum Markov Semigroups

F. Fagnola, Rolando Rebolledo

An invariant state of a quantum Markov semigroup is an equilibrium state if it satisfies a quantum detailed balance condition. In this paper, we introduce a notion of entropy production for faithful normal invariant states of a quantum Markov semigroup on B(h) as a numerical index measuring "how much far" they are from equilibrium. The entropy production is defined as the derivative of the relative entropy of the one-step forward and backward evolution in analogy with the classical probabilistic concept. We prove an explicit trace formula expressing the entropy production in terms of the completely positive part of the generator of a norm continuous quantum Markov semigroup showing that it turns out to be zero if and only if a standard quantum detailed balance condition holds.
