Quantum Statistical Mechanics. IV. Non-Equilibrium Probability Operator and Stochastic, Dissipative Schrodinger Equation
Phil Attard
The probability operator for a generic non-equilibrium quantum system is derived. The corresponding stochastic, dissipative Schrödinger equation is also given. The dissipative and…
Simplified Derivation of the Non-Equilibrium Probability Distribution
Phil Attard
A simple and transparent derivation of the formally exact probability distribution for classical non-equilibrium systems is given. The corresponding stochastic, dissipative equatio…
Quantum Statistical Mechanics. III. Equilibrium Probability
Phil Attard
Given are a first principles derivation and formulation of the probabilistic concepts that underly equilibrium quantum statistical mechanics. The transition to non-equilibrium prob…
Quantum Statistical Mechanics. II. Stochastic Schrodinger Equation
Phil Attard
The stochastic dissipative Schrodinger equation is derived for an open quantum system consisting of a sub-system able to exchange energy with a thermal reservoir. The resultant evo…
Quantum Statistical Mechanics. I. Decoherence, Wave Function Collapse, and the von Neumann Density Matrix
Phil Attard
The probability operator is derived from first principles for an equilibrium quantum system. It is also shown that the superposition states collapse into a mixture of states giving…
