Quantum Mechanics and Statistics
1968In the previous chapters it was stated that the entropy of a system can be determined by statistical means by counting the number of micro-states in which the system may occur under the given conditions. By failing to enlarge upon this point, we have falsely given the impression that the way in which the count should be made was definitely established.

Before proceeding to the full quantum field-theoretic description of the macroscopic phenomena introduced in the previous chapter, we should first review the corresponding quantum-mechanical approach—quantum statistical mechanics.

The preceding formulation of statistical mechanics is perhaps the simplest application of probability theory to the many-body problem. Although it is consistent with the principles of quantum mechanics, it is not manifestly so. That is, the PME itself is based on the notions of information and measurement, but a general formulation should also ...
