Ben-Menahem and I. Pitowsky [1] Abstract The basic motivation behind the present text is threefold: To give a new explanation for the emergence of thermodynamics, to investigate the interplay between quantum mechanics and thermodynamics, and to explore possible ext- sions of the common validity range of thermodynamics. Originally, thermodynamics has been a purely phenomenological science. Early s- entists (Galileo, Santorio, Celsius, Fahrenheit) tried to give de?nitions for quantities which were intuitively obvious to the observer, like pressure or temperature, and studied their interconnections. The idea that these phenomena might be linked to other ?elds of physics, like classical mechanics, e.g., was not common in those days. Such a connection was basically introduced when Joule calculated the heat equ- alent in 1840 showing that heat was a form of energy, just like kinetic or potential energy in the theory of mechanics. At the end of the 19th century, when the atomic theory became popular, researchers began to think of a | 出版日期 | Book 2009Latest edition | 关键词 | decohernece; open quantum systems; quantum entropy; quantum mechanics; quantum thermodynamics; thermodyna | 版次 | 2 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-70510-9 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-642-26099-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-540-70510-9Series ISSN 0075-8450 Series E-ISSN 1616-6361 | issn_series | 0075-8450 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2009 |
