Axioms, 2023 This expository paper advocates an approach to physics in which “typicality” is identified with a suitable form of algorithmic randomness. To this end various theorems from mathematics and physics are reviewed.

The structure of classical extensions of quantum probability theory [PDF]
, 2007 On the basis of a suggestive definition of a classical extension of quantum mechanics in terms of statistical models, we prove that every such classical extension is essentially given by the so-called Misra–Bugajski reduction map.

Entropy, 2015 There is a well-known analogy between statistical and quantum mechanics. In statistical mechanics, Boltzmann realized that the probability for a system in thermal equilibrium to occupy a given state is proportional to \(\exp(-E/kT)\), where \(E\) is the ...

Reworking Zubarev’s Approach to Nonequilibrium Quantum Statistical Mechanics
Particles, 2019 In this work, the nonequilibrium density operator approach introduced by Zubarev more than 50 years ago to describe quantum systems at a local thermodynamic equilibrium is revisited.

, 2005 Classical statistical average values are generally generalized to average values of quantum mechanics, it is discovered that quantum mechanics is direct generalization of classical statistical mechanics, and we generally deduce both a new general ...

Quantum Monte Carlo Methods in Statistical Mechanics [PDF]
, 1999 This paper deals with the optimization of trial states for the computation of dominant eigenvalues of operators and very large matrices. In addition to preliminary results for the energy spectrum of van der Waals clusters, we review results of the ...

Equilibration of quantum gases
New Journal of Physics, 2016 Finding equilibration times is a major unsolved problem in physics with few analytical results. Here we look at equilibration times for quantum gases of bosons and fermions in the regime of negligibly weak interactions, a setting which not only includes ...

Quantum Chaos and Statistical Mechanics
, 1994 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 ...

Classical phase space and statistical mechanics of identical particles [PDF]
, 2000 Starting from the quantum theory of identical particles, we show how to define a classical mechanics that retains information about the quantum statistics.

Quantum mechanics as an approximation of statistical mechanics for classical fields
, 2005 We show that, in spite of a rather common opinion, quantum mechanics can be represented as an approximation of classical statistical mechanics. The approximation under consideration is based on the ordinary Taylor expansion of physical variables.
