Nominated as an outstanding PhD thesis by the University of Arizona
Discusses in detail the validity of the laws of thermodynamics far from equilibrium
Presents a novel, mathematically-rigorous foundation for temperature and voltage measurements in far-from-equilibrium quantum systems
Proves the positivity of the Onsager matrix for quantum thermoelectric transport, verifying a formulation of the second law of thermodynamics
Based on the theoretical foundations developed here, the Scanning Tunneling Thermometer is proposed which may potentially improve the resolution of nanoscopic thermometry by over two orders of magnitude
Derives the exact local entropy for nonequilibrium steady states, explores the second and third laws of thermodynamics, and proposes a metric to quantify the departure from local equilibrium
