Theory of Thermodynamic Measurements of Quantum Systems Far from Equilibrium

Abhay Shastry

978-3-030-33574-8

2019
Edition 1
- Nominated as an outstanding PhD thesis by the University of Arizona
- Discusses in detail the validity of the laws of thermodynamics far from equilibrium
- Presents a novel, mathematically-rigorous foundation for temperature and voltage measurements in far-from-equilibrium quantum systems
- Proves the positivity of the Onsager matrix for quantum thermoelectric transport, verifying a formulation of the second law of thermodynamics
- Based on the theoretical foundations developed here, the Scanning Tunneling Thermometer is proposed which may potentially improve the resolution of nanoscopic thermometry by over two orders of magnitude
- Derives the exact local entropy for nonequilibrium steady states, explores the second and third laws of thermodynamics, and proposes a metric to quantify the departure from local equilibrium
