The Gibbs and Boltzm~nn description of a system are contrasted for the entropy of a general Markov process. An H theorem is established for the Gibbs entropy. The master equation for non-stationary processes is introduced to initiate a discussion of the p.henomenological equations in the two descrip
The linear response framework was established a half-century ago, but no persuasive direct derivation of entropy production has been given in this scheme. This long-term puzzle has now been solved in the present paper. The irreversible part of the entropy production in the present theory is given by
We consider conservative quantum evolutions possibly interrupted by macroscopic measurements. When started in a nonequilibrium state, the resulting path-space measure is not time-reversal invariant and the weight of time-reversal breaking equals the exponential of the entropy production. The mean en
