Generalized laws of thermodynamics in the presence of correlations
In presence of inter-system correlations, violations of the laws of thermodynamics become possible. Here, the authors develop a formalism redefining heat, work and thermodynamic laws in terms of quantum conditional entropy, which consistently generalize thermodynamics in correlated scenarios.
