We provide a characterization of energy in the form of exchanged heat and work between two interacting constituents of a closed, bipartite, correlated quantum system. By defining a binding energy we derive a consistent quantum formulation of the first law of thermodynamics, in which the role of correlations becomes evident, and this formulation reduces to the standard classical picture in relevant systems. We next discuss the emergence of the second law of thermodynamics under certain-but fairly general-conditions such as the Markovian assumption. We illustrate the role of correlations and interactions in thermodynamics through two examples.
我们对封闭的二分关联量子系统中两个相互作用的组分之间以交换热量和功的形式存在的能量进行了表征。通过定义结合能，我们推导出了热力学第一定律的一致量子表述，其中关联的作用变得明显，并且在相关系统中该表述简化为标准的经典情形。接下来，我们讨论在某些相当普遍的条件下，如马尔可夫假设下热力学第二定律的出现。我们通过两个例子说明了关联和相互作用在热力学中的作用。
