Stochastic process behind nonlinear thermodynamic quantum master equation
Hans Christian Öttinger
We propose a piecewise deterministic Markovian jump process in Hilbert space such that the covariance matrix of this stochastic process solves the thermodynamic quantum master equa…

The nonlinear thermodynamic quantum master equation
Hans Christian Öttinger
The quantum master equation obtained by generalizing the geometric formulation of nonequilibrium thermodynamics to dissipative quantum systems is seriously nonlinear. We argue that…

The geometry and thermodynamics of dissipative quantum systems
Hans Christian Öttinger
Dirac's method of classical analogy is employed to incorporate quantum degrees of freedom into modern nonequilibrium thermodynamics. The proposed formulation of dissipative quantum…
