Comment on "Consistent thermostatistics forbids negative absolute temperatures"

Abstract

In this comment we argue that negative absolute temperatures are a well-established concept for systems with bounded spectra. They are not only consistent with thermodynamics, but are even unavoidable for a consistent description of the thermal equilibrium of inverted populations.
