On Quantum Statistical Mechanics: A Study Guide [PDF]
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

Emergence of quantum mechanics from a sub-quantum statistical mechanics [PDF]
A research program within the scope of theories on "Emergent Quantum Mechanics" is presented, which has gained some momentum in recent years. Via the modeling of a quantum system as a non-equilibrium steady-state maintained by a permanent throughput of ...

Quantum Chaos and Statistical Mechanics [PDF]
We briefly review the well known connection between classical chaos and classical statistical mechanics, and the recently discovered connection between quantum chaos and quantum statistical mechanics.Comment: talk given at the Conference on Fundamental ...

Quantum Statistical Mechanics on a Quantum Computer [PDF]
We describe a quantum algorithm to compute the density of states and thermal equilibrium properties of quantum many-body systems. We present results obtained by running this algorithm on a software implementation of a 21-qubit quantum computer for the case of an antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on triangular lattices of different size.

Topological Quantum Statistical Mechanics and Topological Quantum Field Theories [PDF]
The Ising model describes a many-body interacting spin (or particle) system, which can be utilized to imitate the fundamental forces of nature. Although it is the simplest many-body interacting system of spins (or particles) with Z2 symmetry, the ...

Disorder-induced quantum-to-classical transition, or how the world becomes classical [PDF]
Decoherence theory explains how quantum mechanics gives rise to classical mechanics through the entanglement of a quantum system’s evolution with the degrees of freedom of the environment.

Developments in the Tensor Network — from Statistical Mechanics to Quantum Entanglement [PDF]
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.

Some speculations about local thermalization of nonequilibrium extended quantum systems
We discuss the possibility of defining an emergent local temperature in extended quantum many-body systems evolving out of equilibrium. For the most simple case of free-fermionic systems, we give an explicit formula for the effective temperature in the ...
