The authors of the recent paper [1] boldly claim to discover a new fully quantum approach to foundation of statistical mechanics: "Our conceptually novel approach is free of mathematically ambiguous notions such as probability, ensemble,…

Several years ago, it has been discussed that non-logarithmic entropies such as the Tsallis q-entropy cannot be applied to systems with continuous variables. Now, in their recent paper [Phys. Rev. E 97, 012104 (2018)], Oikonomou and Bagci…
Our aim in this paper is to take quite seriously Heinz Post's claim that the non-individuality and the indiscernibility of quantum objects should be introduced right at the start, and not made a posteriori by introducing symmetry…
This is the revised version of a Comment on a paper by C. Escudero (Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 116101, 2008; arXiv:0804.1898).
We argue with claims of the paper [Agostini F., Caprara S. and Ciccotti G., Europhys. Lett. EPL, 78 (2007) Art. 30001, 6] that the quantum-classic bracket introduced in [arXiv:quant-ph/0506122] produces "artificial coupling" and has…
The Everett-interpretation description of isolated measurements, i.e., measurements involving interaction between a measuring apparatus and a measured system but not interaction with the environment, is shown to be unambiguous, claims in…
The nonextensive statistics based on the $q$-entropy $S_q=-\frac{\sum_{i=1}^v(p_i-p_i^q)}{1-q}$ has been so far applied to systems in which the $q$ value is uniformly distributed. For the systems containing different $q$'s, the…
Statistical mechanics can only be ultimately justified in terms of microscopic dynamics (classical, quantum, relativistic, or any other). It is known that Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics is based on the hypothesis of exponential sensitivity to…
In classical Hamiltonian theories, entropy may be understood either as a statistical property of canonical systems, or as a mechanical property, that is, as a monotonic function of the phase space along trajectories. In classical mechanics,…
We reply to a comment of Van Enter, Kuelske and Maes (cond-mat/0005176) on our letter "Critical Behavior of the Randomly Spin-Diluted 2-d Ising Model - A Grand Ensemble Approach", Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 73}, 2268-2271 (1994).
We generalize Hagedorn's statistical theory of momentum spectra of particles produced in high-energy collisions using Tsallis' formalism of non-extensive statistical mechanics. Suitable non-extensive grand canonical partition functions are…
Many wave phenomena are related to interactions. Considering once neglected interactions in some cases, states of large objects and Newton's idea about measurement, we attempt to modify some concepts and principles of non-relativistic…
All presently available results lead to the conclusion that nonextensivity, in the sense of nonextensive statistical mechanics (i.e., $q \ne 1$), does {\it not} modify anything to the second principle of thermodynamics, which therefore…
We briefly review Boltzmann-Gibbs and nonextensive statistical mechanics as well as their connections with Fokker-Planck equations and with existing central limit theorems. We then provide some hints that might pave the road to the proof of…
We present numerical investigations into the question of the validity of the Boltzmann prescription in Statistical Mechanics for large systems, addressing the issue of whether extensivity of energy implies the extensivity of the Boltzmann…
In this paper we address the problem to give a concrete support to the idea, originally stemming from Niels Bohr, that quantum mechanics must be rooted inside the physics of macroscopic systems. It is shown that, starting from the formalism…
It is well known that the statistics of closed classical systems evolves according to the Liouville theorem. Here we study the dynamics of the marginal statistics of classical systems coupled to external degrees of freedom, by developing a…
Starting from the basic-exponential, a q-deformed version of the exponential function established in the framework of the basic-hypergeometric series, we present a possible formulation of a generalized statistical mechanics. In a…
The framework of non-extensive statistical mechanics, proposed by Tsallis, has been used to describe a variety of systems. The non-extensive statistical mechanics is usually introduced in a formal way, using the maximization of entropy. In…
