Quantum Mechanics_ Quantum statistical mechanics
Quantum statistical mechanics is statistical mechanics applied to quantum mechanical systems. In quantum mechanics a statistical ensemble (probability distribution over possiblequantum states) is described by a density operatorS, which is a nonnegative, self-adjoint, trace-classoperator of trace 1 on the Hilbert space Hdescribing the quantum system. This can be shown under various mathematical ...

متن کاملThe Connection Between Statistical Mechanics and Quantum Field Theory
A four part series of lectures on the connection of statistical mechanics and quantum field theory. The general principles relating statistical mechanics and the path integral formulation of quantum field theory are presented in the first lecture. These principles are then illustrated in lecture 2 by a presentation of the theory of the Ising model for H = 0, where both the homogeneous and rando...
متن کاملQuantum Chaos and Statistical Mechanics
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. Talk given at the Conference on Fundamental Problems in Quantum Theory Baltimore, June 18–22, 1994 Consider a dilute gas of hard spheres in a box with hard walls. Give the spheres some arbitrary i...
متن کاملStatistical Geometry in Quantum Mechanics
A statistical model M is a family of probability distributions, characterised by a set of continuous parameters known as the parameter space. This possesses natural geometrical properties induced by the embedding of the family of probability distributions into the space of all square-integrable functions. More precisely, by consideration of the square-root density function we can regard M as a ...
