On the von Neumann entropy of a bath linearly coupled to a driven quantum system
The change of the von Neumann entropy of a set of harmonic oscillators initially in thermal equilibrium and interacting linearly with an externally driven quantum system is computed by adapting the Feynman–Vernon influence functional formalism. This quantum entropy production has the form of the exp...
