An Inverse Problem in Quantum Statistical Physics
We address the following inverse problem in quantum statistical physics: does the quantum free energy (von Neumann entropy + kinetic energy) admit a unique minimizer among the density operators having a given local density n(x)? We give a positive answer to that question, in dimension one. This enables to define rigourously the notion of local quantum equilibrium, or quantum Maxwellian, which i...
متن کاملType of inversion problem in physics: an inverse emissivity problem.
Inversion problems have recently drawn vast amounts of attention from the physics community due to their potential widespread applications. In this Rapid Communication, a different type of inversion problem in physics is proposed: an inverse emissivity problem, which aims to determine the emissivity g(nu) by measuring only the total radiated power J(T). Like other inverse problems, this one has...
متن کاملAn Inverse Problem Statistical Methodology Summary
We discuss statistical and computational aspects of inverse or parameter estimation problems based on Ordinary Least Squares and Generalized Least Squares with appropriate corresponding data noise assumptions of constant variance and nonconstant variance (relative error), respectively. Among the topics included here are mathematical model, statistical model and data assumptions, and some techni...
متن کاملAN INVERSE PROBLEM WITH UNKNOWN RADIATION TERM
In this paper, we consider an inverse problem of linear heat equation with nonlinear boundary condition. We identify the temperature and the unknown radiation tern from an overspecified condition on the boundary
متن کاملProbability in physics: stochastic, statistical, quantum
I review the role of probability in contemporary physics and the origin of probabilistic time asymmetry, beginning with the pre-quantum case (both stochastic mechanics and classical statistical mechanics) but concentrating on quantum theory. I argue that quantum mechanics radically changes the pre-quantum situation and that the philosophical nature of objective probability in physics, and of pr...
