Evolution of Hypoequilibrium States in Steepest Entropy Ascent Models for Nonequilibrium Quantum Thermodynamics
Gian Paolo Beretta, Rohit Kishan Ray, Michael R. von Spakovsky
A formal development of the hypoequilibrium (HE) state concept within the Steepest-Entropy-Ascent Quantum Thermodynamics (SEAQT) framework is presented, emphasizing its rigorous ma…

Energy Eigenstates of Electrons, Magnons and Phonons in FeO (magnetite), MnFeO (jacobsite), and mixed Mn-Zn ferrites
Deepak Dhariwal, Michael R. von Spakovsky, William T. Reynolds
We report first-principles calculations of the electronic structure, magnon excitations, and phonons in magnetite (FeO), jacobsite (MnFeO), and mixed manganese-zinc…

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…
