Based on quantum statistical mechanics and microscopic quantum dynamics, we prove Planck’s and Kelvin’s principles for macroscopic systems in a general and realistic setting. We consider a hybrid quantum system that consists of the thermodynamic system, which is initially in thermal equilibrium, and the “apparatus” which operates on the former, and assume that the whole system evolves autonomously. This provides a satisfactory derivation of the second law for macroscopic systems.
