A Description of the Quantum Mpemba Effect using the Steepest-Entropy-Ascent Quantum Thermodynamics Framework
Luis Enrique Rocha-Soto, Cesar Eduardo Damian-Ascencio, Adriana Saldaña-Robles +1
The quantum Mpemba effect describes the unusual relaxation of a quantum system where if starting from a state far from equilibrium reaches equilibrium faster than starting from a c…
Non-equilibrium and equilibrium thermodynamic foundations of the 2D toric code within the SEAQT framework
Cesar Damian, Adriana Saldana-Robles, Michael von Spakovsky
The 2D toric code is a prototypical example that exhibits non-trivial topological properties and a ground state possessing a non-trivial topological order. Until now, all the cases…
Model for Predicting Adsorption Isotherms and the Kinetics of Adsorption via Steepest-Entropy-Ascent Quantum Thermodynamics
Adriana Saldana-Robles, Cesar Damian, William T. Reynolds +1
This work outlines the foundations for being able to do a first-principle study of the adsorption process using the steepest-entropy-ascent quantum thermodynamic (SEAQT) framework,…
Steepest-Entropy-Ascent Framework for Predicting Arsenic Adsorption on Graphene Oxide Surfaces -- A Case Study
Adriana Saldana-Robles, Cesar Damian, Michael R. von Spakovsky +1
Water contamination by arsenic(V) constitutes a major public-health concern, underscoring the need for models that capture both equilibrium and transient adsorption behaviour. A fr…
Modeling the effects of perturbations and steepest entropy ascent on the time evolution of entanglement
Cesar Damian, Robert Holladay, Adriana Saldana +1
This work presents an analysis of the evolution of perturbed Bell diagonal states using the equation of motion of steepest-entropy-ascent quantum thermodynamics (SEAQT), the Lindbl…
