In this work, we consider the choice of a system suitable for the formulation of principles in nonequilibrium thermodynamics. It is argued that an isolated system is a much better candidate than a system in contact with a bath. In other words, relaxation processes rather than stationary processes are more appropriate for the formulation of principles in nonequilibrium thermodynamics. Arguing that slow varying relaxation can be described with quasi-stationary process, it is shown for two special cases, linear nonequilibrium thermodynamics and linearized Boltzmann equation, that solutions of these problems are in accordance with the maximum entropy production principle.

Resilience of the topological phases to frustration

Summary: Recent studies have shown that one-dimensional antiferromagnetic spin models with frustrated boundary conditions may exhibit peculiar behavior, but the introduction of frustrated boundary conditions does not alter the topological order phases analyzed in the models.

Summary: This work demonstrates that the presence of an odd or even number of elements in antiferromagnetic quantum spin rings can lead to qualitatively and quantitatively different outcomes in non-equilibrium experiments. The observed differences in the low energy spectra between frustrated and non-frustrated chains can be used in quantum thermodynamics protocols.
