The connection between coarse-graining of measurement and emergence of classicality has been investigated for some time, if not well understood. Recently in (PRL $\textbf{112}$, 010402, (2014)) it was pointed out that coarse-graining…
We present the conceptual and technical background required to describe and understand the correlations and fluctuations of the empirical density and current of steady-state diffusion processes on all time scales -- observables central to…
This paper attempts to develop a theory of sufficiency in the setting of non-commutative algebras parallel to the ideas in classical mathematical statistics. Sufficiency of a coarse-graining means that all information is extracted about the…
We prove a generalization of Gromov's symplectic non-squeezing theorem for the case of Hilbert spaces. Our approach is based on filling almost complex Hilbert spaces by complex discs partially extending Gromov's results on existence of…
We introduce the notion of a symplectic capacity relative to a coisotropic submanifold of a symplectic manifold, and we construct two examples of such capacities through modifications of the Hofer-Zehnder capacity. As a consequence, we…
This work explores the manner in which classical phase space distribution functions converge to the microcanonical distribution. We first prove a theorem about the lack of convergence, then define a generalization of the coarse-graining…
We examine the Boltzmann/Gibbs/Shannon $\mathcal{S}_{BGS}$ and the non-additive Havrda-Charv\'{a}t / Dar\'{o}czy/Cressie-Read/Tsallis \ $\mathcal{S}_q$ \ and the Kaniadakis $\kappa$-entropy \ $\mathcal{S}_\kappa$ \ from the viewpoint of…
In this paper we are interested in the studying coarse-graining in field theories using the language of quantum open systems. Motivated by the ideas of Calzetta and Hu on correlation histories we employ the Zwanzig projection technique to…
We investigate the detailed properties of Observational entropy, introduced by \v{S}afr\'{a}nek et al. [Phys. Rev. A 99, 010101 (2019)] as a generalization of Boltzmann entropy to quantum mechanics. This quantity can involve multiple…
Many approaches of coarse-graining have been developed under the names of Cosserat theory or polar-fluid theory, for those materials in which some component elements undergo non-affine deformations, such as elastic materials with inclusions…
We show an interesting connexion between the coarse-grained distribution function arising in the theory of violent relaxation for collisionless stellar systems (Lynden-Bell 1967) and the notion of superstatistics introduced recently by Beck…
It is shown how coarse-graining of quantum field ^M theory in de Sitter space leads to the emergence of a classical ^M stochastic description as an effective theory in the infra-red regime. ^M The quantum state of the coarse-grained scalar…
We introduce a mesoscopic partition function for classical many-body systems based on a combined spatial and phase-space coarse-graining, replacing the canonical phase-space integral with a discrete sum over occupation numbers. The…
We study the effect of coarse-graining the dynamics of a pressureless selfgravitating fluid (coarse-grained dust) in the context of cosmological perturbation theory, both in the Eulerian und Lagrangian framework. We obtain recursion…
We describe a block-spin-like transformation on a simplified subset of the space of supersymmetric quiver gauge theories that arise on the worldvolumes of D-brane probes of orbifold geometries, by sequentially Higgsing the gauge symmetry in…
The emergence of macroscopic variables can be effected through {\it coarse graining}. Despite practical and fundamental benefits conveyed by this partitioning of state space, the apparently subjective nature of the selection of coarse…
We study the motion of an overdamped particle connected to a thermal heat bath in the presence of an external periodic potential in one dimension. When we coarse-grain, i.e., bin the particle positions using bin sizes that are larger than…
Non-commutative quantum physics at the atom scale can arise from coarse graining of a classical statistical ensemble at the Planck scale. Position and momentum of an isolated particle are classical observables which remain computable in…
In this paper we introduce a canonical quantum coarse-graining and use negentropy to connect ignorance as measured by quantum information entropy and ignorance related to quantum coarse-graining. For our procedure, macro-states are the set…
Starting from the detailed catalytic mechanism of a biocatalyst we provide a coarse-graining procedure which, by construction, is thermodynamically consistent. This procedure provides stoichiometries, reaction fluxes (rate laws), and…
