摘要
For any irreversible system, classical or quantum mechanical, the time derivative of the entropy is always positive. Recently, an upper bound for the time derivative of the Shannon entropy was obtained. In the present paper, an alternative form of the bound is derived and applied to obtain an upper bound for entropy production.
