The spread of the wave-function, or quantum uncertainty, is a key notion in quantum mechanics. At leading order, it is characterized by the quadratic moments of the position and momentum operators. These evolve and fluctuate independently…
A proof of the relativistic $H$-theorem by including nonextensive effects is given. As it happens in the nonrelativistic limit, the molecular chaos hypothesis advanced by Boltzmann does not remain valid, and the second law of thermodynamics…
By an idealized quantum mechanical model, we formally describe the dispersion of nonretarded electromagnetic waves that express charge density oscillations near a fixed plane in three spatial dimensions (3D) at zero temperature. Our goal is…
The $q$-sum $x \oplus_q y \equiv x+y+(1-q) xy$ ($x \oplus_1 y=x+y$) and the $q$-product $x\otimes_q y \equiv [x^{1-q} +y^{1-q}-1]^{\frac{1}{1-q}}$ ($x\otimes_1 y=x y$) emerge naturally within nonextensive statistical mechanics. We show here…
In the context of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, Gaussian wavepacket solutions of the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation provide useful physical insight. This is not the case for relativistic quantum mechanics, however, for which…
Quasi-power law ensembles are discussed from the perspective of nonextensive Tsallis distributions characterized by a nonextensive parameter $q$. A number of possible sources of such distributions are presented in more detail. It is further…
Recent progresses in statistical mechanics indicate the Tsallis nonextensive thermostatistics as the natural generalization of the standard classical and quantum statistics, when memory effects and long-range forces are not negligible. In…
Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical mechanics is based on the entropy $S_{BG}=-k \sum_{i=1}^W p_i \ln p_i$. It enables a successful thermal approach of ubiquitous systems, such as those involving short-range interactions, markovian processes, and,…
We present a new hydrodynamic analogy of nonrelativistic quantum particles in potential wells. Similarities between a real variant of the Schr\"odinger equation and gravity-capillary shallow water waves are reported and analyzed. We show…
The stochastic theory of non-relativistic quantum mechanics presented here relies heavily upon the theory of stochastic processes, with its definitions, theorems and specific vocabulary as well. Its main hypothesis states indeed that the…
We applied the Tsallis statistics with the conventional expectation value to a system of free particles, adopting the equilibrium temperature which is often called the physical temperature. The entropic parameter $q$ in the Tsallis…
Building on mathematical similarities between quantum mechanics and theories of diffusion-influenced reactions, we discuss how the propagator of a reacting molecule pair can be represented as a product of three factors in the Laplace…
In a recent letter (EPL, 104 (2013) 60003) we suggested a way to avoid divergences inherent to the formulation of nonextensive statistical mechanics. They can be eliminated via the use of a q-Laplace transformation, which was illustrated…
The validity of (1-q) expansion and factorization approximations are analysed in the framework of Tsallis statistics. We employ exact expressions for classical independent systems (harmonic oscillators) by considering the unnormalized and…
An expansion for quantum statistical mechanics is derived that gives classical statistical mechanics as the leading term. Each quantum correction comes from successively larger permutation loops, which arise from the factorization of the…
We sketch and emphasize the automatic emergence of a quantum potential Q in e.g. classical WDW type equations upon inserting a (Bohmian) complex wave function. The interpretation of Q in terms of momentum fluctuations via Fisher information…
Gaussian quantum channels are well understood and have many applications, e.g., in Quantum Information Theory and in Quantum Optics. For more general quantum channels one can in general use semiclassical approximations or perturbation…
