Quantum dissipative adaptation

[摘要] Dissipative adaptation is a general thermodynamic mechanism that explains self-organization in classical systems via dissipation of absorbed work, revealing a principle of life-like behaviour. Here, the authors show that dissipative adaptation remains valid in a fully-quantum zero-temperature model, providing the starting point towards a quantum thermodynamics of driven self-organization.
