Modeling the Non-equilibrium Phenomenon of Diffusion in Closed and Open Systems at an Atomistic Level Using Steepest-Entropy-Ascent Quantum Thermodynamics

Intrinsic quantum Thermodynamics (IQT) is a theory that unifies thermodynamics and quantum mechanics into a single theory. Its mathematical framework, steepest-entropy-ascent quantum thermodynamics (SEAQT), can be used to model and describe the non-equilibrium phenomenon of diffusion based on the pr...
