quantum statistical mechanics
1Quantum statistical mechanics — is the study of statistical ensembles of quantum mechanical systems. A statistical ensemble is described by a density operator S , which is a non negative, self adjoint, trace class operator of trace 1 on the Hilbert space H describing the… …
