Rényi entropy flows from quantum heat engines
Mohammad H. Ansari, Yuli V. Nazarov
We evaluate Renyi entropy flows from generic quantum heat engines (QHE) to a weakly-coupled probe environment kept in thermal equilibrium. We show the flows are determined by two quantities: heat flow and fictitious disspation that manifest the quantum coherence in the engine. This pertains also the common Shanon entropy flow. The results appeal for revision of the concept of entropy flows in quantum non-equlibrium thermodynamics.
Resurrection?
I suddenly get an urge to galvanize my old business blog. It looks like the significance I assign to work life has recently increased. If the galvanization attempt is successful, I’ll post about most important events of two last months – all back-dated. Wish me some luck.
