Correlations in the adiabatic response of chaotic systems
1Department of Physics, Technion, Haifa 32000, Israel.
Abstract:
Adiabatic variation of the parameters of a chaotic system results in a fluctuating reaction force. The quantum analog of a classical dissipative force, proportional to the time integral of the force-force correlation function, vanishes. We study this quantum-classical crossover for random matrix models. For the Gaussian unitary ensemble the crossover is found to take place on the Heisenberg time scale and the finite time integral practically vanishes for longer times. For the Gaussian orthogonal case, there is no such time scale and the integral falls off inversely proportional to time.

Entropy Change in Reversible Processes
The statement can be further generalized to prove that entropy is a state function. Take a cyclic process between any two points on a p-V diagram.
Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics
The relation between entropy and disorder can be illustrated with the example of the phase change of ice to water. In ice, the molecules are located at specific sites giving a solid state, whereas, in a liquid form, these molecules are much freer to move. The molecular arrangement has therefore become more randomized. Although the change in average...
