Quantum thermodynamics as a gauge theory
Gabriel Fernandez Ferrari, Åukasz Rudnicki, Lucas Chibebe Céleri
Thermodynamics is based on a coarse-grained approach, from which its fundamental variables emerge, effectively erasing the complicate details of the microscopic dynamics within a m…
Relativistic approach to thermodynamic irreversibility
M. Basso, J. Maziero, L. C. Céleri
We consider a localized quantum system living in a curved spacetimes. By translating into this scenario the paradgmatic two-point measument scheme in quantum statistical mechanics…
Graviton induced decoherence of a composite particle
T. H. Moreira, L. C. Céleri
We consider a composite particle, whose internal degrees of freedom are described by quantum mechanics, interacting with the quantum gravitational field in the linear approximation…
Entropy production due to spacetime fluctuations
Thiago H Moreira, Lucas C. Céleri
Understanding the quantum nature of the gravitational field is undoubtedly one of the greatest challenges in theoretical physics. Despite significant progress, a complete and consi…
