The Hagedorn Temperature as a Nonequilibrium Dynamical Bottleneck in String Thermodynamics
Cesar Damian, Oscar Loaiza-Brito
We revisit the Hagedorn regime of string theory from a nonequilibrium perspective using Steepest-Entropy-Ascent Quantum Thermodynamics (SEAQT), which formulates thermodynamic evolu…

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,…
