We show in a model-independent way that the inhomogeneous cosmological class II Stephani model fulfills both the the cosmological holographic principle, and that the entropy is increasing with time. By this we mean the result does not…
Time-dependent Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) formation in ultracold atoms is investigated in a nonlinear diffusion model. For constant transport coefficients, the model has been solved analytically. Here, we extend it to include…
We study the temporal rate of variations of the von Neumann entropy in an open quantum system which interacts with a bath. We show that for almost all initial states of the bath and the system, the time-average of the rate of entropy change…
The Boltzmann kinetic equation is obtained from an integro-differential master equation that describes a stochastic dynamics in phase space of an isolated thermodynamic system. The stochastic evolution yields a generation of entropy,…
We consider the entropy of the solution to the heat equation on a Riemannian manifold. When the manifold is compact, we provide two estimates on the rate of change of the entropy in terms of the lower bound on the Ricci curvature and the…

Energy-time uncertainty plays an important role in quantum foundations and technologies, and it was even discussed by the founders of quantum mechanics. However, standard approaches (e.g., Robertson's uncertainty relation) do not apply to…
We consider a time-dependent two-level quantum system interacting with a free Boson reservoir. The coupling is energy conserving and depends slowly on time, as does the system Hamiltonian, with a common adiabatic parameter $\varepsilon$.…
A theory of thermodynamics has been recently formulated and derived on the basis of R\'enyi entropy and its relative versions. In this framework, we define the concepts of partition function, internal energy and free energy, and fundamental…
The interaction between atoms in a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is effectively modulated by the Rabi oscillation. This periodic modulation of the effective interaction is shown to generate Faraday patterns through parametric…

The anisotropic Rabi model, which was proposed recently, differs from the original Rabi model: the rotating and counter-rotating terms are governed by two different coupling constants. This feature allows us to vary the counter-rotating…
The 1996 Brune {\it et al.} experiment on vacuum Rabi oscillation is analyzed by means of alternative models of atom-reservoir interaction. Agreement with experimental Rabi oscillation data can be obtained if one defines jump operators in…
