Quantum 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 کاملComparing 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 کاملEquilibration, generalized equipartition, and diffusion in dynamical Lorentz gases
We demonstrate approach to thermal equilibrium in the fully Hamiltonian evolution of a dynamical Lorentz gas, by which we mean an ensemble of particles moving through a d-dimensional array of fixed soft scatterers that each possess an internal harmonic or anharmonic degree of freedom to which moving particles locally couple. We analytically predict, and numerically confirm, that the momentum di...
متن کاملLow dimensional quantum gases
In 2005, we have made further progress in the studies of atom correlations in one-dimensional (1D) Bose gases [1]. We have calculated the density profiles and density correlation functions of a harmonically trapped (nonuniform) 1D Bose gas, using the exact finite-temperature solutions for the uniform case and applying a local density approximation. The results are valid for a trapping potential...
متن کاملHarmonically Trapped Quantum Gases
We solve the problem of a Bose or Fermi gas in d-dimensions trapped by δ ≤ d mutually perpendicular harmonic oscillator potentials. From the grand potential we derive their thermodynamic functions (internal energy, specific heat, etc.) as well as a generalized density of states. The Bose gas exhibits Bose-Einstein condensation at a nonzero critical temperature Tc if and only if d+ δ > 2, and a ...
