Quantum mechanics as classical statistical mechanics with an ontic extension and an epistemic restriction [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2017 Where does quantum mechanics part ways with classical statistical mechanics? Here the authors derive both within a common framework; the former differs from the latter by an ontic nonseparable random variable and a restriction on the allowed phase space ...

Disorder-induced quantum-to-classical transition, or how the world becomes classical [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2022 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.

Non-extensive statistical mechanics and black hole entropy from quantum geometry [PDF]
Physics Letters B, 2017 Using non-extensive statistical mechanics, the BekensteinâHawking area law is obtained from microstates of black holes in loop quantum gravity, for arbitrary real positive values of the BarberoâImmirzi parameter (γ).

Statistical mechanics model for Clifford random tensor networks and monitored quantum circuits [PDF]
Physical review B, 2021 We introduce an exact mapping of Clifford (stabilizer) random tensor networks (RTNs) and monitored quantum circuits, onto a statistical mechanics model.

Some speculations about local thermalization of nonequilibrium extended quantum systems
Condensed Matter Physics, 2023 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 ...

Exceptional dynamical quantum phase transitions in periodically driven systems
Nature Communications, 2021 Understanding phase transitions in systems out of equilibrium is a topic of high interest. Here the author discusses the spontaneous antiunitary symmetry breaking leading to exceptional dynamical quantum phase transitions in driven many-body systems.

Statistical mechanics for non-Hermitian quantum systems
Physical Review Research, 2023 We present a systematic study of statistical mechanics for non-Hermitian quantum systems. Our work reveals that the stability of a non-Hermitian system necessitates the existence of a single path-dependent conserved quantity, which, in conjunction with ...
