Institute of Physics Publishing Entropy Beyond the Second Law Second Edition
Book SynopsisEntropy is fundamental to the physical universe, and its applications beyond the Second Law of Thermodynamics to classical time-dependent systems and to quantum condensed matter lie at the frontiers of science.

Oxford University Press Quantum Statistical Mechanics
Book SynopsisThis book establishes the foundations of non-equilibrium quantum statistical mechanics in order to support students and academics in developing and building their understanding. The formal theory and key equations are derived from first principles by mathematical analysis, with concrete physical interpretations and worked examples throughout.

IOP Publishing Ltd Entropy Beyond the Second Law
Book SynopsisThe Second Law of Thermodynamics, that entropy increases, is arguably the most fundamental law of nature. And yet for some, entropy itself is a mystery, the cause of confusion and misunderstanding. How can it be that something so fundamental and universal be so hard to grasp? How can it have happened that thoughtful people appreciate the significance and universal applicability of the Second Law without understanding the nature of entropy, its sole concern? This book presents a coherent formulation of all aspects of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics with entropy as the unifying theme. This includes formulating equilibrium theory from first principles, and explaining the role of the Second Law in establishing the equilibrium state. It also includes establishing the foundations of non-equilibrium theory by generalizing the concept of entropy in an appropriate way. Finally, it addresses the relationship between classical and quantum statistical mechanics by invoking the collapse

Institute of Physics Publishing Quantum Statistical Mechanics in Classical Phase
Book SynopsisQuantum and classical physics are presented as distinct and unrelated. Transformation to classical phase space gives researchers access to algorithms derived from classical statistical mechanics that promise results on much more favourable terms. This book offers a framework for understanding the quantum world and collective molecular behaviour.
