The entropy produced when a quantum system is driven away from equilibrium can be decomposed in two parts, one related with populations and the other with quantum coherences. The latter is usually based on the so-called relative entropy of…

It is argued that a Gibbsian formula for the space-time distribution of microscopic trajectories of a nonequilibrium system provides a unifying framework for recent results on the fluctuations of the entropy production. The variable entropy…

Entropy and order parameter are two key concepts in phase transition theory. This paper proposes an unified method to both find order parameter and estimate entropy automatically with unsupervised learning. The contributions of this paper…
