| Abstract: | We propose a definition of entropy production in the framework of algebraic quantum statistical mechanics. We relate our definition to heat flows through the system. We also prove that entropy production is non-negative in natural non-equilibrium steady states. Received: 7 August 2000 / Accepted: 5 September 2000 |
