Initial-state dependence of thermodynamic dissipation for any quantum process

Exact results about the nonequilibrium thermodynamics of open quantum systems at arbitrary timescales are obtained by considering all possible variations of initial conditions of a system. First we obtain a quantum-information theoretic equality for entropy production, valid for an arbitrary initial...
