Abstract

We studied multiple quantum harmonic oscillators in the Tsallis statistics of entropic parameter qq in the cases that the distributions are power-like, separately applying the conventional expectation value, the unnormalized qq-expectation value, and the normalized qq-expectation value (escort average). We obtained the expressions of the energy and the Tsallis entropy, using the Barnes zeta function. For the same oscillators, we obtained the expressions of the energy, the Tsallis entropy, the average level of the oscillators, and the heat capacity. Numerically, we calculated the energy, the Tsallis entropy, and the heat capacity for various NN and qq, using the expansion of the Barnes zeta function with the Hurwitz zeta function, where NN is the number of independent oscillators. The parameter qq is less than one in the Tsallis statistics with the conventional expectation value. The parameter qq is greater than one in both sets of the Tsallis statistics, each of which is defined with a different qq-expectation value. These limitations of qq arise from the requirements that the distributions are power-like. It was shown from the requirements for the Barnes zeta function that qq is greater than N/(N+1)N/(N+1) for the conventional expectation value and that qq is less than (N+1)/N(N+1)/N for both of the qq-expectation values. In the Tsallis statistics with the conventional expectation value, the energy, the Tsallis entropy, and the heat capacity decrease with qq. These quantities per oscillator increase with NN. In the Tsallis statistics with the unnormalized qq-expectation value, the energy, the Tsallis entropy, and the heat capacity increase with qq at low temperature, while decrease with qq at high temperature. These quantities per oscillator increase with NN at low temperature, while decrease with NN at high temperature. The heat capacity is the Schottky-type. The quantities are affected by the zero-point energy. In the Tsallis statistics with the normalized qq-expectation value, the NN dependence of the energy per oscillator and that of the heat capacity per oscillator are quite weak, and the qq dependence of the energy and that of the heat capacity are also weak, when the equilibrium temperature, which is often called the physical temperature, is adopted. The Tsallis entropy per oscillator decreases with NN and the Tsallis entropy decreases with qq.
