论文摘要
在处理通用的时间局部非马克维亚主方程时，我们将电流和功率定义为与经典热力学相同的过程依赖性。每个过程的特征在于对称转换，量表的主方程，并与不同量的热量和/或工作相关。一旦对称要求固定了热力学量，就会出现对热力学定律的一致量学解释。我们还为系统提供了具有仪表无关的热力学行为的必要条件，并表明满足量子详细平衡条件的系统是无关的。将理论应用于量子热发动机，我们表明仪表变换可以改变机器效率，但是，但受经典的Carnot结合的约束。
Dealing with a generic time-local non-Markovian master equation, we define current and power to be process-dependent as in classical thermodynamics. Each process is characterized by a symmetry transformation, a gauge of the master equation, and is associated with different amounts of heat and/or work. Once the symmetry requirement fixes the thermodynamical quantities, a consistent gauge interpretation of the laws of thermodynamics emerges. We also provide the necessary and sufficient conditions for a system to have a gauge-independent thermodynamical behavior and show that systems satisfying Quantum Detailed Balance conditions are gauge-independent. Applying the theory to quantum thermal engines, we show that gauge transformations can change the machine efficiency, however, yet constrained by the classical Carnot bound.
