Quantum Statistical Mechanics

open access: yes, 2013
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.

Quantum statistical mechanics

Statistical Mechanics, 2021
Quantum statistical mechanics governs metals, semiconductors, and neutron stars. Statistical mechanics spawned Planck’s invention of the quantum, and explains Bose condensation, superfluids, and superconductors.

Quantum statistical mechanics in a closed system.

Physical Review A. Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics, 1991
A closed quantum-mechanical system with a large number of degrees of freedom does not necessarily give time averages in agreement with the microcanonical distribution.

A reductionist perspective on quantum statistical mechanics: Coarse-graining of path integrals.

Journal of Chemical Physics, 2015
Computational modeling of the condensed phase based on classical statistical mechanics has been rapidly developing over the last few decades and has yielded important information on various systems containing up to millions of atoms. However, if a system

Quantum statistical mechanics

open access: yes, 2007
Initial questions: What holds up Jupiter's core? Does the composition matter? How conductive are white dwarf and neutron star interiors? We've talked about the interactions of photons, and (briefly) how they differ from the interactions of electrons in a

Statistical Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

Science, 1955
The published work for which the honor of the Nobel prize for the year 1954 has been accorded to me does not contain the discovery of a new phenomenon of nature but, rather, the foundations of a new way of thinking about the phenomena of nature. This way of thinking has permeated experimental and theoretical physics to such an extent that it seems ...
