Comparing classical and quantum equilibration.
By using a physically relevant and theory independent definition of measurement-based equilibration, we show quantitatively that equilibration is easier for quantum systems than for classical systems, in the situation where the initial state of the system is completely known (a pure state). This shows that quantum equilibration is a fundamental aspect of many quantum systems, while classical eq...
متن کاملQuantum thermal equilibration from equipartition
The problem of mutual equilibration between two finite, identical quantum systems, A and B, prepared initially at different temperatures is elucidated. We show that the process of energy exchange between the two systems leads to accurate equipartition within energy shells in the Hilbert space of the total non-interacting, composite system, A⊗B. This scenario occurs under the general condition o...
متن کاملQuark-antiquark production from classical fields and chemical equilibration
We compute by numerical integration of the Dirac equation the number of quarkantiquark pairs produced in the classical color fields of colliding ultrarelativistic nuclei. The backreaction of the created pairs on the color fields is not taken into account. While the number of qq̄ pairs is parametrically suppressed in the coupling constant, we find that in this classical field model it could even ...
متن کاملThermal equilibration between two quantum systems.
Two identical finite quantum systems prepared initially at different temperatures, isolated from the environment, and subsequently brought into contact are demonstrated to relax towards Gibbs-like quasiequilibrium states with a common temperature and small fluctuations around the time-averaged expectation values of generic observables. The temporal thermalization process proceeds via a chain of...
متن کاملOn Classical, Fuzzy Classical, Quantum and Fuzzy Quantum Systems
In this paper we consider physical systems and the concept of their states in the context of the theory of fuzzy sets and systems. In section 1 we give a brief sketch on the fundamental difference between the theories of classical physics and quantum mechanics. In section 2 and 3 we introduce very shortly systems and their states in classical and quantum mechanics, respectively. Section 4 prese...
