Given physical systems, counting rule for their statistical mechanical descriptions need not be unique, in general. It is shown that this nonuniqueness leads to the existence of various canonical ensemble theories which equally arise from…
Hamiltonian mechanics describes the evolution of a system through its Hamiltonian. The Hamiltonian typically also represents the energy observable, a Noether-conserved quantity associated with the time-invariance of the law of evolution. In…
We develop a quantum algorithm for estimating the free energy as well as the total Gibbs state of interacting quantum Coulomb gases and molecular systems in dimensions $d \in \{2,3\}$ at finite temperature. These systems lie beyond the…
It is noted that the Schrodinger equation with any self-adjoint Hamiltonian is unitary equivalent to a set of non-interacting classical harmonic oscillators and in this sense any quantum dynamics is completely integrable. Higher order…
When a closed quantum system is driven periodically with period $T$, it approaches a periodic state synchronized with the drive in which any local observable measured stroboscopically approaches a steady value. For integrable systems, the…
