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 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 ...
متن کاملMechanics to Manifolds III. Quantum Mechanics
This is the third seminar in our mini series detailing how Physics feeds into Geometry. In the first seminar I gave an introduction to Mechanics from a Mathematician’s point of view. In the second, Paul Cooper showed how some specific problems in Classical Mechanics give rise to problems in geometry. In this talk, I intend to do the same for Quantum Mechanics. What I would like to do is concent...
متن کاملDoes quantum chaos explain quantum statistical mechanics?
If a many-body quantum system approaches thermal equilibrium from a generic initial state, then the expectation value 〈ψ(t)|Ai|ψ(t)〉, where |ψ(t)〉 is the system’s state vector and Ai is an experimentally accessible observable, should approach a constant value which is independent of the initial state, and equal to a thermal average of Ai at an appropriate temperature. We show that this is the c...
