Why do quantum evolutions occur and why do they stop at certain points? In classical thermodynamics affinity was introduced to predict in which direction an irreversible process proceeds [1]. In this work the quantum mechanical counterpart of classical affinity is found. It is shown that the quantum version of affinity can predict in which direction a process evolves. We will also see that the quantum affinity can be a good candidate to be responsible, as a force, for driving the flow and backflow of information in Markovian and non- Markovian evolutions.
