Quantum Thermodynamics Emergence of Thermodynamic Behavior Within Composite Quantum Systems /
This introductory text treats thermodynamics as an incomplete description of quantum systems with many degrees of freedom. Its main goal is to show that the approach to equilibrium-with equilibrium characterized by maximum ignorance about the open system of interest-neither requires that many partic...
