The Entropic Dynamics reconstruction of quantum mechanics is extended to quantum field theory in curved space-time. The Entropic Dynamics framework, which derives quantum theory as an application of the method of maximum entropy, is…

In generalizing the special-relativistic one-component version of Eckart's continuum thermodynamics to general-relativistic space-times with Riemannian or post-Riemannian geometry, we consider the entropy production and other themodynamical…

Hydrodynamic reformulations of the Schr\"odinger equation suggest an interpretation of quantum mechanics in terms of a fluid flowing on configuration space. In the discrete hydrodynamic view, this fluid is not fundamental but emerges from…

Motivated by the notion that the mathematics of gravity can be reproduced from a statistical requirement of maximal entropy, we study the consequence of introducing an entropic source term in the Einstein-Hilbert action. For a spatially…

We provide a justification, via the thermodynamic limit, of the modular formula for entropy production in two-times measurement proposed in [Benoist, Bruneau, Jak\v{s}i\'c, Panati and Pillet: Lett. Math. Phys. 114:32, (2023)]. We consider…

We present a systematic theory of chemically active emulsions in the hydrodynamic limit by constructing a thermodynamically consistent framework in which the equilibrium is broken by chemo-stating of fuel molecules. For ternary solutions…

To explain black hole thermodynamics in quantum gravity, one must introduce constraints to ensure that a black hole is actually present. I show that for a large class of black holes, such ``horizon constraints'' allow the use of conformal…

Entropy production is a key quantity characterizing nonequilibrium systems. However, it can often be difficult to compute in practice, as it requires detailed information about the system and the dynamics it undergoes. This becomes even…
