This paper represents the full version of a paper published earlier in Physica A [246 (1997), 275]. The present paper includes argumentation, proofs and details omitted in the shortened version. The papers are a further development of the approach in quantum statistical mechanics proposed by the author. The hierarchy of equations for reduced density matrices obtained previously is extended to the case corresponding to the Bose-Einstein condensation. The relevant state of the system with a condensate can be superfluid as well as nonsuperfluid. Special attention is given to the thermodynamics of superfluid systems. According to the results of the papers superfluidity is the state of a fluid whose symmetry is spontaneously broken because of a stationary flow. The state corresponds to thermodynamic equilibrium while the magnitude of the flow depends upon the temperature and is determined by thermodynamic considerations. The equations obtained are solved in two simple cases. The physical origin of superfluidity, peculiarities of the phenomenon in closed volumes and the critical velocity are discussed as well.
We propose and analyze Maxwells demon based on a single qubit with avoided level crossing. Its operation cycle consists of adiabatic drive to the point of minimum energy separation, measurement of the qubit state, and conditional feedback. We show th
We consider a model of bosons on a regular lattice with a kinetic energy due to hopping among sites and a potential energy due to strong on site interaction. A superfluid phase is expected when the ground state of the local energy is doubly degenerat
Fluctuation theorems are fundamental results in non-equilibrium thermodynamics. Considering the fluctuation theorem with respect to the entropy production and an observable, we derive a new thermodynamic uncertainty relation which also applies to non-cyclic and time-reversal non-symmetric protocols.
We propose a generalization of the linked-cluster expansions to study driven-dissipative quantum lattice models, directly accessing the thermodynamic limit of the system. Our method leads to the evaluation of the desired extensive property onto small
The competition between interactions and dissipative processes in a quantum many-body system can drive phase transitions of different order. Exploiting a combination of cluster methods and quantum trajectories, we show how the systematic inclusion of
