What is it about?

The detailed definition of temperature has been the fundamental subject for the nonequilibrium thermodynamic theory essentially for information and quantum thermodynamic theories.The temperature in the world retaining information and life was defined in the nonadiabatic condition against to that in the universe in the adiabatic condition. Information has an essential role in quantum thermodynamics through the quantum superposition principle which enables to do quantum computations.

Why is it important?

Temperature for the nonequilibrium thermodynamic theory was defined in detail. The second law of thermodynamics can be completely generated counting information which has an essential role for quantum computations through superposed and interfered quantum states.

Perspectives

The detailed definition of temperature for nonequilibrium thermodynamics anticipates a great advance in solving energy and transport problems in nonadiabatic conditions and in solving information and quantum problems in superposed and interfering conditions. Recently, quantum engines have been studied based on quantum thermodynamics.
