In high energy physics, the standard convention for expressing physical quantities is natural units. The standard paradigm sets $c = \hbar = \epsilon_0 = 1$ and hence implicitly rescales all physical quantities that depend on unit…
Living systems maintain or increase local order by working against the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Thermodynamic consistency is restored as they dissipate heat, thereby increasing the net entropy of their environment. Recently introduced…
Complex systems produce high-dimensional signals that lack macroscopic variables analogous to entropy, temperature, or free energy. This work introduces a thermoinformational formulation that derives entropy, internal energy, temperature,…
The emergence of irreversibility in physical processes, despite the fundamentally reversible nature of quantum mechanics, remains an open question in physics. This thesis explores the intricate relationship between quantum mechanics and…

Dissipative quantum systems are frequently described within the framework of the so-called "system-plus-reservoir" approach. In this work we assign their description to the Maximum Entropy Formalism and compare the resulting thermodynamic…
In finite element calculations, the integral forms are usually evaluated using nested loops over elements, and over quadrature points. Many such forms (e.g. linear or multi-linear) can be expressed in a compact way, without the explicit…
Many theoretical expressions of dissipation along non-equilibrium processes have been proposed. However, they have not been fully verified by experiments. Especially for systems strongly interacting with environments the connection between…
Residual entropy, which reflects the degrees of freedom in a system at absolute zero temperature, is crucial for understanding quantum and classical ground states. Despite its key role in explaining low-temperature phenomena and ground…

Landauer discussed the minimum energy necessary for computation and stated that erasure of information is accompanied by heat generation to the amount of kT ln2/bit. Modifying the above statement, we claim that erasure of information is…
We present a minimal Path-Dependent Energy Lagrangian (PDEL) that generates, from a single action, the balance equations of mechanics and the entropy/heat equation for irreversible thermomechanical systems. The reversible part is the…
It has been known for some time that the entropy of hot QCD is well reproduced by weak coupling techniques. These do not identify with perturbation theory, known to have poor convergence properties, but involve resumming the physics of hard…
We introduce `PI-Entropy' $\Pi(\tilde{\rho})$ (the Permutation entropy of an Indexed ensemble) to quantify mixing due to complex dynamics for an ensemble $\rho$ of different initial states evolving under identical dynamics. We find that…

Within its range of applicability, the Boltzmann equation seems unique in its capacity to accurately describe the transition from almost any initial state to a self-equilibrated thermal state. Using information-theoretic methods to rephrase…
R\'enyi transfer entropy (RTE) is a generalization of classical transfer entropy that replaces Shannon's entropy with R\'enyi's information measure. This, in turn, introduces a new tunable parameter $\alpha$, which accounts for sensitivity…
