Systems out of thermodynamic equilibrium are very common in nature. In recent years they have attracted constantly growing attention because of their relevance for fundamental physics as well as for ...

Thermodynamics is a ‘gift’ of mechanics. Both newtonian and quantum dynamics in many-body systems lead to extremely complicated dynamical evolution. But both also have a feature that is exceptional ...
