Why does statistical mechanics 'work' in condensed matter?
Uspekhi Fizicheskih Nauk, 2021 Abstract The reasons behind the possibility of using the Gibbs distribution in condensed matter are considered. While the basics of statistical mechanics in gases are covered in great detail in many textbooks and reviews, the reasons for using the Gibbs distribution in crystals, glasses, and liquids are rarely considered.

GENERALIZATION OF CLASSICAL STATISTICAL MECHANICS TO QUANTUM MECHANICS AND STABLE PROPERTY OF CONDENSED MATTER [PDF]
Modern Physics Letters B, 2004 Classical statistical average values are generally generalized to average values of quantum mechanics. It is discovered that quantum mechanics is a direct generalization of classical statistical mechanics, and we generally deduce both a new general continuous eigenvalue equation and a general discrete eigenvalue equation in quantum mechanics, and ...

Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and ExperimentAbstract The 50th Anniversary of Middle European Cooperation (MECO) conferences is celebrated by recalling how from the programs of MECO meetings, it is possible to follow the evolution of Condensed Matter and Statistical Mechanics of the last fifty years. It will be unravelled a personal view of how MECO meetings in the decades actively

Statistical mechanics of Floquet quantum matter: exact and emergent conservation laws [PDF]
Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2021 Equilibrium statistical mechanics rests on the assumption of chaotic dynamics of a system modulo the conservation laws of local observables: extremization of entropy immediately gives Gibbs’ ensemble (GE) for energy conserving systems and a generalized ...

Why neural functionals suit statistical mechanics [PDF]
Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2023 We describe recent progress in the statistical mechanical description of many-body systems via machine learning combined with concepts from density functional theory and many-body simulations. We argue that the neural functional theory by Sammüller et al

Why Noether’s theorem applies to statistical mechanics [PDF]
Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2021 Noether’s theorem is familiar to most physicists due its fundamental role in linking the existence of conservation laws to the underlying symmetries of a physical system.

Developments in the Tensor Network — from Statistical Mechanics to Quantum Entanglement [PDF]
Journal of the Physical Society of Japan, 2021 Tensor networks (TNs) have become one of the most essential building blocks for various fields of theoretical physics such as condensed matter theory, statistical mechanics, quantum information, and quantum gravity.

Statistical Mechanics of Discrete Multicomponent Fragmentation [PDF]
Condensed Matter, 2020 We formulate the statistics of the discrete multicomponent fragmentation event using a methodology borrowed from statistical mechanics. We generate the ensemble of all feasible distributions that can be formed when a single integer multicomponent mass is
