The problem of relaxation to equilibrium (opens in new tab)

When a thermodynamic system is released from any constraint, after some time its evolution will render it into an equilibrium state. Although the description of this relaxation to thermodynamic equilibrium has been attempted through both classical (Hamilton's equations) or quantum (Schr\"odinger equation) approaches, no success has been achieved without recurring to additional hypotheses. The present work demonstrates the possibility of reaching...
