Quantum Statistical Theory of Rate Processes

The Quantum Statistical Mechanical Theory of Transport Processes

A new derivation of the quantum Boltzmann transport equation for the Fermion system from the quantum time evolution equation for the wigner distribution function is presented. The method exhibits the origin of the time - irreversibility of the Boltzmann equation. In the present work, the spin dependent and indistinguishibility of particles are also considered.

Quantum Statistical Derivation of Rate Equations for Electronic Processes in Polar Crystals with External Electric Field

Applying the Nakajima-Zwanzig method to the von Neumann equation of a system of interacting electrons and nuclei, etc., and evaluating the Pauli-Master equation according to RieckersStumpf, we obtain a system of reaction equations for electron-phonon-photon processes in a polar crystal. Further elaboration of these reaction equations leads to rate equations for electrons which include impurity ...

Rate-Distortion Theory of Finite Point Processes

We study the compression of data in the case where the useful information is contained in a set rather than a vector, i.e., the ordering of the data points is irrelevant and the number of data points is unknown. Our analysis is based on rate-distortion theory and the theory of finite point processes. We introduce fundamental information-theoretic concepts and quantities for point processes and ...
