Non-equilibrium Thermodynamic Approach Based on the Steepest-Entropy-Ascent Framework Applicable across All Temporal and Spatial Scales

In this research, a first-principles, non-equilibrium thermodynamic-ensemble approach applicable across all temporal and spatial scales is developed based on steepest-entropy-ascent quantum thermodynamics (SEAQT). The SEAQT framework provides an equation of motion consisting of both reversible mecha...
