Quantum mechanics concept assessment: Development and validation study
Physical Review Special Topics. Physics Education Research, 2015 As part of an ongoing investigation of students’ learning in first semester upper-division quantum mechanics, we needed a high-quality conceptual assessment instrument for comparing outcomes of different curricular approaches.

Thermodynamics of an Empty Box
Entropy, 2023 A gas in a box is perhaps the most important model system studied in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. Usually, studies focus on the gas, whereas the box merely serves as an idealized confinement.

A New Approach to Quantum-Statistical Mechanics
, 1955 A new method of calculating the grand partition function of many-body system is developed, adopting extensively the techniques of calculus in quantum field theory.

Quantum theory: the role of microsystems and macrosystems
, 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 ...

Quantum statistical mechanics of electron gas in magnetic field
Condensed Matter Physics, 2006 Electron eigenstates in a magnetic field are considered. Density of the probability current and an averaged magnetic moment are obtained. Density of states is investigated for two-dimensional electron in a circle that is bound by the infinite potential ...

Connecting Spin and Statistics in Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
Foundations of Physics, 2009 The spin-statistics connection is derived in a simple manner under the postulates that the original and the exchange wave functions are simply added, and that the azimuthal phase angle, which defines the orientation of the spin part of each single-particle spin-component eigenfunction in the plane normal to the spin-quantization axis, is exchanged ...

Hidden Variables in Quantum Mechanics from the Perspective of Boltzmannian Statistical Mechanics
Quantum ReportsThis paper examines no-hidden-variables theorems in quantum mechanics from the point of view of statistical mechanics. It presents a general analysis of the measurement process in the Boltzmannian framework that leads to a characterization of (in ...

The Statistical Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
, 2020 The topic of this inquiry is the foundation of the statistical interpretation of quantum mechanics, the inter-pretation used, explicitly or implicitly, in all practical applications of quantum theory. Although it was thefirst consistent interpretation of the quantum formalism and had eminent supporters as Born, Einstein, orSchrödinger, there was, from ...

The classical–statistical limit of quantum mechanics [PDF]
Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2004 The classical-statistical limit of quantum mechanics is studied. It is proved that the limit $\hbar \to 0$ is the good limit for the operators algebra but it si not so for the state compact set. In the last case decoherence must be invoked to obtain the classical-statistical limit.
