Abstract
► First-principles derivation of the entropy production in electric static conduction. ► The second-order (symmetric) density matrix contributes to the entropy production. ► New schemes of steady states formulated using a relaxation-type von Newmann equation. ► Stationary temperature is introduced to characterize steady states. ► The mechanism of the entropy production in steady states is also clarified.
