When the strength of interaction between a quantum system and bath is non-negligible, the equilibrium state can deviate from the Gibbs state. But the expression of such a mean force Gibbs state in an arbitrary parameter regime is unknown…
Statistical mechanics is founded on the assumption that all accessible configurations of a system are equally likely. This requires dynamics that explore all states over time, known as ergodic dynamics. In isolated quantum systems, however,…
