The role of quantum coherence in non-equilibrium entropy production
Thermodynamic irreversibility is well characterized by the entropy production arising from
non-equilibrium quantum processes. We show that the entropy production of a quantum …

Non-additive dissipation in open quantum networks out of equilibrium
MT Mitchison, MB Plenio - New Journal of Physics, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We theoretically study a simple non-equilibrium quantum network whose dynamics can be
expressed and exactly solved in terms of a time-local master equation. Specifically, we …
