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…

Modeling Interfacial Electron Transfer using Path Integral Molecular Dynamics
Yoonjae Park, Adam P. Willard
Outer sphere electron transfer rates can be calculated from simulation data by sampling the equilibrium statistics of the canonical reaction coordinate -- the vertical energy gap.…

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…
