Quantum Approach to Classical Statistical Mechanics [PDF]

Physical Review Letters, 2007
We present a new approach to study the thermodynamic properties of $d$-dimensional classical systems by reducing the problem to the computation of ground state properties of a $d$-dimensional quantum model. This classical-to-quantum mapping allows us to deal with standard optimization methods, such as simulated and quantum annealing, on an equal basis.

Quantum statistical mechanics of vortices

Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2022
Abstract The asymptotic partition function for quantized abelian Higgs vortices at high temperature T is found to leading and subleading order, and from this the equation of state of the vortex gas is derived, including the first quantum correction.

Local normality in Quantum Statistical Mechanics [PDF]

Communications in Mathematical Physics, 1973
It is shown that K.M.S.-states are locally normal on a great number ofC*-algebras that may be of interest in Quantum Statistical Mechanics. The lattice structure and the Choquet-simplex structure of various sets of states are investigated. In this respect special attention is payed to the interplay of the K.M.S.-automorphism group with other ...

Statistical origin of quantum mechanics [PDF]

Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2002
The one particle quantum mechanics is considered in the frame of a N-body classical kinetics in the phase space. Within this framework, the scenario of a subquantum structure for the quantum particle, emerges naturally, providing an ontological support to the orthodox quantum mechanics.

The Statistical Origins of Quantum Mechanics [PDF]

Physics Research International, 2010
It is shown that Schrödinger's equation may be derived from three postulates. The first is a kind of statistical metamorphosis of classical mechanics, a set of two relations which are obtained from the canonical equations of particle mechanics by replacing all observables by statistical averages.

On Quantum Statistical Mechanics: A Study Guide [PDF]

Advances in Mathematical Physics, 2017
We provide an introduction to a study of applications of noncommutative calculus to quantum statistical physics. Centered on noncommutative calculus, we describe the physical concepts and mathematical structures appearing in the analysis of large quantum systems and their consequences. These include the emergence of algebraic approach and the necessity

STATISTICAL MECHANICS AND QUANTUM COSMOLOGY [PDF]

, 1991
Statistical mechanical concepts and processes such as decoherence, correlation, and dissipation can prove to be of basic importance to understanding some fundamental issues of quantum cosmology and theoretical physics such as the choice of initial states, quantum to classical transition and the emergence of time.
