Quantum Statistical Mechanics. II. Stochastic Schrödinger Equation
The stochastic dissipative Schrödinger equation is derived for an open quantum system consisting of a sub-system able to exchange energy with a thermal reservoir. The resultant evolution of the wave function also gives the evolution of the density matrix, which is an explicit, stochastic form of the Lindblad master equation. A quantum fluctuation-dissipation theorem is also derived. The time co...
متن کاملStatistical Mechanics of the Nonlinear Schr6dinger Equation
is unbounded below and the system will, under certain conditions, develop (selffocusing) singularities in a finite time. We show that, when s is the circle and the L 2 norm of the field (which is conserved by the dynamics) is bounded by N, the Gibbs measure v obtained is absolutely continuous with respect to Wiener measure and normalizable if and only if p and N are such that classical solution...
متن کاملMesoscopic virial equation for nonequilibrium statistical mechanics
We derive a class of mesoscopic virial equations governing energy partition between conjugate position and momentum variables of individual degrees of freedom. They are shown to apply to a wide range of nonequilibrium steady states with stochastic (Langevin) and deterministic (Nosé–Hoover) dynamics, and to extend to collective modes for models of heat-conducting lattices. A macroscopic virial t...
متن کاملFrom Jupiter's Great Red Spot to the structure of galaxies: statistical mechanics of two-dimensional vortices and stellar systems.
The statistical mechanics of two-dimensional vortices and stellar systems both at equilibrium and out of equilibrium are discussed, with emphasis on the analogies (and on the differences) between these two systems. Limitations of statistical theory and problems posed by the long-range nature of the interactions are described in detail. Special attention is devoted to the problem of "incomplete ...
متن کاملGeneralized Boltzmann Equation in a Manifestly Covariant Relativistic Statistical Mechanics
We consider the relativistic statistical mechanics of an ensemble of N events with motion in space-time parametrized by an invariant “historical time” τ. We generalize the approach of Yang and Yao, based on the Wigner distribution functions and the Bogoliubov hypotheses, to find the approximate dynamical equation for the kinetic state of any nonequilibrium system to the relativistic case, and o...
