Assessing the role of initial correlations in the entropy production rate for nonequilibrium harmonic dynamics
Entropy production provides a general way to state the second law of thermodynamics for nonequilibrium scenarios. In open quantum system dynamics, it also serves as a useful quantifier of the degree of irreversibility. In this work we shed light on the relation between correlations, initial preparat...
