论文摘要
可以通过平均力的哈密顿量来方便地描述开放式(经典或量子)系统的非平衡热力学。但是,常规公式受到测量系统托架复合材料平衡特性差异的必要性的限制。我们利用定义热力学量的自由,这使热力学不变,以表明单独的测量可以从系统的测量中推断出平均力的哈密顿量,直到无关的自由。通过这样做,我们驳斥了物理中表达的关键批评。 Rev. E 94,022143和Arxiv:1911.11660。我们还讨论了批评的其余部分。
The nonequilibrium thermodynamics of an open (classical or quantum) system in strong contact with a single heat bath can be conveniently described in terms of the Hamiltonian of mean force. However, the conventional formulation is limited by the necessity to measure differences in equilibrium properties of the system-bath composite. We make use of the freedom involved in defining thermodynamic quantities, which leaves the thermodynamics unchanged, to show that the Hamiltonian of mean force can be inferred from measurements on the system alone, up to that irrelevant freedom. In doing so, we refute a key criticism expressed in Phys. Rev. E 94, 022143 and arXiv:1911.11660. We also discuss the remaining part of the criticism.
