Entropy, 2021 Given the algebra of observables of a quantum system subject to selection rules, a state can be represented by different density matrices. As a result, different von Neumann entropies can be associated with the same state.

Thermodynamics for Trajectories of a Mass Point [PDF]
, 2014 On the basis of information theory, a new formalism of classical non-relativistic mechanics of a mass point is proposed. The particle trajectories of a general dynamical system defined on an (1+n)-dimensional smooth manifold are treated geometrically as ...

Heat-exchange statistics in driven open quantum systems
New Journal of Physics, 2014 As the dimensions of physical systems approach the nanoscale, the laws of thermodynamics must be reconsidered due to the increased importance of fluctuations and quantum effects.

Probability, Entropy, and Gibbs’ Paradox(es)
Entropy, 2018 Two distinct puzzles, which are both known as Gibbs’ paradox, have interested physicists since they were first identified in the 1870s. They each have significance for the foundations of statistical mechanics and have led to lively discussions with

Quantum theory: the role of microsystems and macrosystems [PDF]
, 2007 We stress the notion of statistical experiment, which is mandatory for quantum mechanics, and recall Ludwig's foundation of quantum mechanics, which provides the most general framework to deal with statistical experiments giving evidence for particles ...

Analysis of contribution of matrix mechanics on quantum mechanics [PDF]
EPJ Web of ConferencesIn this paper the analysis and discussion about the contribution made by matrix mechanics, i.e. the establishment of complex form of quantum mechanics and the proposal of mathematic formalism of uncertainty principle, to the development of quantum ...

Prequantum classical statistical model with infinite dimensional phase-space [PDF]
, 2005 We show that quantum mechanics can be represented as an asymptotic projection of statistical mechanics of classical fields. Thus our approach does not contradict to a rather common opinion that quantum mechanics could not be reduced to statistical ...

The Statistical Origins of Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
Physics Research International, 2010 It is shown that Schrödinger's equation may be derived from three postulates. The first is a kind of statistical metamorphosis of classical mechanics, a set of two relations which are obtained from the canonical equations of particle mechanics by replacing all observables by statistical averages.

A note on the Landauer principle in quantum statistical mechanics [PDF]
, 2014 The Landauer principle asserts that the energy cost of erasure of one bit of information by the action of a thermal reservoir in equilibrium at temperature T is never less than kT log 2.

Aspects of Quantum Statistical Mechanics: Fractional and Tsallis Approaches
Mathematics, 2023 We investigated two different approaches, which can be used to extend the standard quantum statistical mechanics. One is based on fractional calculus, and the other considers the extension of the concept of entropy, i.e., the Tsallis statistics.
