| Research Abstract |
The results obtained in this research project are classified into two categories. One was to clarify the physical properties of the quantum-mechanical analog of the Carnot cycle constructed based on the structural similarity/dissimilarity between quantum mechanics and thermodynamics. The other was to find a new case in which the Clausius inequality may be challenged, by describing thermodynamic processes in terms of non-unitary completely-positive quantum operations.
