Persistent misconceptions existing for dozens of years and influencing progress in various
fields of science are sometimes encountered in the scientific and especially, the popular …

Highlights•Maximum entropy production principle (MEPP) is considered.•Two main MEPP
restrictions (locality and complexity) are discussed.•The typical misconceptions about MEPP …

By suitable reformulations, we cast the mathematical frameworks of several well-known
different approaches to the description of nonequilibrium dynamics into a unified formulation …

A master equation has been constructed for a global system–bath interaction in the both
absence and presence of non-Markovian noise. For the memoryless case, it has been …

When thermodynamics is understood as the science (or art) of constructing effective models
of natural phenomena by choosing a minimal level of description capable of capturing the …

The Rate-Controlled Constrained-Equilibrium (RCCE) method for the description of the time-
dependent behavior of dynamical systems in non-equilibrium states is a general, effective …

The steepest-entropy-ascent quantum thermodynamic (SEAQT) framework is used to model
the decoherence that occurs during the state evolution of two different microscopic …

We give a short review of known exact inequalities that can be interpreted as' energy–
time'and'frequency–time'uncertainty relations. In particular we discuss a precise form of …

The current stage of quantum computing technology, called noisy intermediate-scale
quantum technology, is characterized by large errors that prohibit it from being used for real …

By reformulating the steepest-entropy-ascent (SEA) dynamical model for nonequilibrium
thermodynamics in the mathematical language of differential geometry, we compare it with …
