Canonical Typicality
Sheldon Goldstein, Joel L. Lebowitz, Roderich Tumulka +1
It is well known that a system, S, weakly coupled to a heat bath, B, is described by the canonical ensemble when the composite, S+B, is described by the microcanonical ensemble cor…
Fidelity optimization for holonomic quantum gates in dissipative environments
Daniele Parodi, Maura Sassetti, Paolo Solinas +2
We analyze the performance of holonomic quantum gates in semi-conductor quantum dots, driven by ultrafast lasers, under the effect of a dissipative environment. In agreement with t…
Smoothness of Wave Functions in Thermal Equilibrium
Roderich Tumulka, Nino Zanghi
We consider the thermal equilibrium distribution at inverse temperature , or canonical ensemble, of the wave function of a quantum system. Since spaces contain more no…
A microscopic derivation of the quantum mechanical formal scattering cross section
D. Dürr, S. Goldstein, T. Moser +1
We prove that the empirical distribution of crossings of a "detector'' surface by scattered particles converges in appropriate limits to the scattering cross section computed by st…
Quantum Mechanics in Multiply-Connected Spaces
Detlef Duerr, Sheldon Goldstein, James Taylor +2
We explain why, in a configuration space that is multiply connected, i.e., whose fundamental group is nontrivial, there are several quantum theories, corresponding to different cho…
