  2. Multiplicity (statistical mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicity_(statistical...

    However, it is useful as an intermediate step to calculate multiplicity as a function of and . This approach shows that the number of available macrostates is N + 1 . For example, in a very small system with N = 2 dipoles, there are three macrostates, corresponding to N ↑ = 0 , 1 , 2. {\displaystyle N_{\uparrow }=0,1,2.}

  4. Statistical mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_mechanics

    In physics, statistical mechanics is a mathematical framework that applies statistical methods and probability theory to large assemblies of microscopic entities. Sometimes called statistical physics or statistical thermodynamics, its applications include many problems in the fields of physics, biology, [1] chemistry, neuroscience, [2] computer science, [3] [4] information theory [5] and ...

  5. Variance reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variance_reduction

    In mathematics, more specifically in the theory of Monte Carlo methods, variance reduction is a procedure used to increase the precision of the estimates obtained for a given simulation or computational effort. [1] Every output random variable from the simulation is associated with a variance which limits the precision of the simulation results.

  6. Entropy (statistical thermodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(statistical...

    The von Neumann entropy formula is an extension of the Gibbs entropy formula to the quantum mechanical case. It has been shown [ 1 ] that the Gibbs Entropy is equal to the classical "heat engine" entropy characterized by d S = δ Q T {\displaystyle dS={\frac {\delta Q}{T}}\!} , and the generalized Boltzmann distribution is a sufficient and ...

  7. Correlation function (quantum field theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_function...

    All other off-shell contributions from the correlation function vanish. After integrating the resulting delta functions, what will remain of the LSZ reduction formula is merely a Fourier transformation operation where the integration is over the internal point positions that the external leg propagators were attached to. In this form the ...

  8. H-theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-theorem

    In quantum statistical mechanics (which is the quantum version of classical statistical mechanics), the H-function is the function: [24] = ⁡, where summation runs over all possible distinct states of the system, and p i is the probability that the system could be found in the i-th state.

  9. Maxwell–Boltzmann statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell–Boltzmann_statistics

    In statistical mechanics, Maxwell–Boltzmann statistics describes the distribution of classical material particles over various energy states in thermal equilibrium. It is applicable when the temperature is high enough or the particle density is low enough to render quantum effects negligible.
