Steepest-entropy-ascent quantum thermodynamics, or SEAQT, is a unified approach of quantum mechanics and thermodynamics that avoids many of the inconsistencies that can arise between the two theories. Given a set of energy levels, i.e.,…

The current stage of quantum computing technology, called noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) technology, is characterized by large errors that prohibit it from being used for real applications. In these devices, decoherence, one of the…
The Steepest Entropy Ascent (SEA) ansatz, recently recognized as the fourth law of thermodynamics, governs the irreversible evolution of a system from a non-equilibrium state toward a unique maximum-entropy equilibrium. SEA builds upon the…
