Prolegomena to a non-equilibrium quantum statistical mechanics
arXiv:quant-ph/9904006
Abstract
We suggest that the framework of quantum information theory, which has been developing rapidly in recent years due to intense activity in quantum computation and quantum communication, is a reasonable starting point to study non-equilibrium quantum statistical phenomena. As an application, we discuss the non-equilibrium quantum thermodynamics of black hole formation and evaporation.
