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.

Transport theory and the founding of condensed matter physics

Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2023
In 1966, Woon Siong Gan coined and invented the name transport theory in condensed matter physics. Today, transport theory is the backbone theory of condensed matter physics and the whole condensed matter physics can be represented by transport theory ...

What condensed matter physics and statistical physics teach us about the limits of unitary time evolution

Quantum Studies: Mathematics and Foundations, 2019
The Schrödinger equation for a macroscopic number of particles is linear in the wave function, deterministic, and invariant under time reversal. In contrast, the concepts used and calculations done in statistical physics and condensed matter physics ...

On some rigorous results in condensed matter theory

Vestnik NovSU, 2023
The work contains a critical analysis of the methods and results currently used and applied in the theory of condensed matter. A unified mathematical apparatus has been developed - the method of functional integration which is equally applicable to all ...

Topological properties of gauge theories and their applications to high-energy and condensed-matter physics

Il Colle di Galileo, 2022
Many remarkable properties of gauge theories rely on the topology of field configurations and/or ambient spacetime and are connected with quantum anomalies and nonperturbative excitations.
