Equivalence of Statistical Mechanical Ensembles for Non-Critical Quantum Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the problem of whether the canonical and microcanonical ensembles are locally equivalent for short-ranged quantum Hamiltonians of N spins arranged on a ddimensional lattices. For any temperature for which the system has a finite correlation length, we prove that the canonical and microcanonical state are approximately equal on regions containing up toO(N) spins. The proof rests on a variant of the Berry–Esseen theorem for quantum lattice systems and ideas from quantum information theory.

Equilibration, thermalisation, and the emergence of statistical mechanics in closed quantum systems.
We review selected advances in the theoretical understanding of complex quantum many-body systems with regard to emergent notions of quantum statistical mechanics. We cover topics such as equilibration and thermalisation in pure state statistical mechanics, the eigenstate thermalisation hypothesis, the equivalence of ensembles, non-equilibration dynamics following global and local quenches as w...

The random matrix ensembles (RME) of quantum statistical Hamiltonian operators, e.g. Gaussian random matrix ensembles (GRME) and Ginibre random matrix ensembles (Ginibre RME), are applied to following quantum statistical systems: nuclear systems, molecular systems, and two-dimensional electron systems (Wigner-Dyson electrostatic analogy). Measures of quantum chaos and quantum integrability with...
متن کاملTopological approach to phase transitions and inequivalence of statistical ensembles
The relation between thermodynamic phase transitions in classical systems and topology changes in their state space is discussed for systems in which equivalence of statistical ensembles does not hold. As an example, the spherical model with mean field-type interactions is considered. Exact results for microcanonical and canonical quantities are compared with topological properties of a certain...
متن کاملDynamical Lie group action on kinematical equivalence classes and criteria for reachability of states for quantum systems
The question of dynamical equivalence of kinematically equivalent quantum states is addressed by studying the action of the dynamical Lie group of the system on the kinematical equivalence classes of density matrices. It is shown that the dynamical Lie group of a pure-state controllable system, which is not density matrix controllable, acts transitively only on certain types of mixed quantum st...
متن کاملCoherent Transport of Single Photon in a Quantum Super-cavity with Mirrors Composed of Λ-Type Three-level Atomic Ensembles
In this paper, we study the coherent transport of single photon in a coupled resonator waveguide (CRW) where two threelevel Λ-type atomic ensembles are embedded in two separate cavities. We show that it is possible to control the photon transmission and reflection coefficients by using classical control fields. In particular, we find that the total photon transmission and reflection are achieva...
