Entropy in Quantum Mechanics and Applications to Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics
Classical formulations of the entropy concept and its interpretation are introduced. This is to motivate the definition of the quantum von Neumann entropy. Some general properties of quantum entropy are developed, such as the quantum entropy which always increases. The current state of the area that...
