Exact Expressions of Entropy for Classical Non-interacting Many-body Systems
Yuheng Wu, Henrik Heelweg, Rigel Galgana
In the thermodynamic limit, the equilibrium state of a many-body system can be characterized by three pairs of conjugate thermodynamic variables: . In this limit, the…

Maximum entropy distributions of wavefunctions at thermal equilibrium
Jacob T. Willson, Henrik J. Heelweg, Adam P. Willard
Statistical mechanics reveals that the properties of a macroscopic physical system emerge as an average over an ensemble of statistically independent microscopic subsystems, each o…

Deriving the Landauer Principle From the Quantum Shannon Entropy
Henrik J. Heelweg, Amro Dodin, Adam P. Willard
We derive an expression for the equilibrium probability distribution of a quantum state in contact with a noisy thermal environment that formally separates contributions from quant…
