(V08BT09A043)Steepest-Entropy-Ascent Quantum Thermodynamic Non-equilibrium Modeling of Decoherence of a Composite System of Two Interacting Spin-1/2 Systems

摘要

The equation of motion of steepest-entropy-ascent quantumthermodynamics (SEA-QT) was first postulated in the early1980s with the intent of modeling the non-linear dynamicbehavior encountered in nature, which the unitary (linear)dynamics of the Schrodinger-von Neumann equation cannot.The SEA-QT equation is used here to model the decoherencephenomenon between two distinguishable and indivisibleelementary constituents of type spin-1/2 (e.g., quantum bits orqubts).
