Abstract

Using the nonequilibrium statistical operator method and the projection technique, we derive the system of exact relaxation equations for a quantum system interacting with an alternating external field. These equations hold in the case where some of the basic dynamical variables describing a nonequilibrium state depend explicitly on time. We obtain the exact expression for the entropy production in an alternating external field.
