Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Quantum Limits to the Second Law
Daniel Peter Sheehan
Annotation Seventy-nine papers from the July 2002 conference apply recent theoretical and experimental results to the growing number of questions regarding the absolute status of the second law of thermodynamics. Despite the conference title, less than half the material is directly related to quantum mechanical issues. The papers are organized into sections devoted to quantum perspectives; classical perspectives; experimental tests and proposals; motors, rotors, ratchets, and engines; time and gravity; history and philosophy; and general topics.
