Questions and answers. The feedback model of systems obeying quantum statistical mechanics

January 1972
Journal of Statistical Physics 4(1):61-77

DOI:10.1007/BF01008472

Authors:

The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we shall derive the Fermi-Dirac (FD) and Bose-Einstein (BE) distributions from the classical Maxwell-Boltzmann (MB) distribution by introducing into the classical system the consequences of quantum mechanical indistinguishability in a direct and simple manner. Next, we go through a brief introduction to feedback systems and see how the FD and BE systems may be viewed as classical systems with appropriate feedback. We shall see that the resemblance to feedback systems is more than formal and that a feedback mechanism does exist in systems obeying quantum statistical mechanics.

Related Work, Extensions and Directions of Further Investigations

January 1991

Thomas Streicher

In the previous chapters we have studied the Calculus of Constructions following a classical pattern. We have introduced a class of structures called doctrines of constructions in Chapter 1 and studied several instances of this notion in Chapter 2 (realizability and retract models). In Chapter 3 we have defined an axiomatization of the calculus and the interpretation of this calculus in arbitrary ... [Show full abstract] doctrines of constructions and then have proved a correctness theorem. Finally in Chapter 4 we have shown the existence of a term model. Further we have shown that only provably correct types and objects get an interpretation in the term model and only those equality judgments which can be derived in the calculus are valid under interpretation in the term model.

The Schottky Relation

January 1980

C. Herbert Clemens

In this last chapter we will discuss the most famous classical result in the direction of answering the question, Which symmetric matrices Ω with positive definite imaginary parts arise from curves in the manner presented in Chapter Four? This is the so-called Schottky problem, and in approaching it, we will closely follow the work of H. Farkas.†

Cancer Cachexia

January 1984

Raymond J. Shamberger

Cachexia associated with cancer is a frequent occurrence. Although some progress has been made in this area, the basic mechanisms involved have not been fully elucidated in spite of a considerable research effort. The term cachexia is derived from the Greek kakos, “bad,” and hexis, “condition.” The patient with cachexia is often considered to embody the classical textbook picture of a cancer ...

Preliminaries on Non-smooth Analysis

January 2004

In this chapter we review some basic mathematical theory from non-smooth analysis [7,15, 44, 60, 61,128]. We begin with a brief introduction to sets and set-valued functions (Section 2.1). The notion of continuity of functions is relaxed in Section 2.2 to semi-continuity for set-valued functions and the notion of the classical derivative of smooth functions is extended in Section 2.3 to ... [Show full abstract] generalized differentials for non-smooth functions. Some definitions from convex analysis are reviewed in Section 2.4. Finally, an introduction is given to linear complementarity problems, which will prove to be useful when analyzing non-smooth dynamical systems.

Waiting times in classical priority queues via elementary lattice path counting

December 2016 · Queueing Systems

In this paper, we describe an elementary combinatorial approach for deriving the waiting and response time distributions in a few classical priority queueing models. By making use of lattice paths that are linked in a natural way to the stochastic processes analyzed, the proposed method offers new insights and complements the results previously obtained by inverting the associated Laplace ...

Relations between Cloning and the Universal NOT Derived from Conservation Laws

August 2005 · Physical Review Letters

S. J. van Enk

We discuss certain relations between cloning and the not operation that can be derived from conservation laws alone. Those relations link the limitations on cloning and the not operation possibly imposed by other laws of nature. Our result is quite general and holds both in classical and quantum-mechanical worlds, for both optimal and suboptimal operations, and for bosons as well as fermions.

A unified approach to the classical and quantum adiabatic theorems

January 1999 · European Journal of Physics

In this paper, we present a unified derivation of the quantum and classical adiabatic theorems, including their recent improvements due to Berry (1984, 1985) and Hannay (1985). This derivation is based on the introduction of averaged variational principles. Simple semiclassical arguments allow it to be shown that the classical analysis is a special case of the quantum one.

Incoherence and cluster emission

March 1975 · Nuclear Physics B

L.B. Rédei

It is shown that the generating function of the independent cluster emission model can be derived from the assumption that the number of modes in which the secondaries are produced is very large. A mechanism for the suppression of the quantum mechanical interference corrections to the classical cluster emission model is discussed.

A Uniqueness Theorem For Monogenic Functions

July 1998

. In this paper it is proved by classical analytical methods that a Borel-monogenic function is completely determined by its derivatives at one point if the absolute value of these derivatives is bounded by Mn where the sum over (Mn=n!) Gamma1=n diverges. 1. Introduction In 1912 ' Emile Borel published his paper [1] where he introduced the nonanalytic monogenic functions. This paper deals with ... [Show full abstract] these functions and with the question under what conditions they will form a class of quasianalytic functions in the sense of J. Hadamard: If a function is infinitely often differentiable at a point z 0 and if the function itself and all its derivatives vanish at z 0 , it follows that the function vanishes identically in its domain of definition. Equivalently, if two functions f and g coincide at one point z 0 together with all their derivatives, they are identical. Up to now a positive answer to Hadamard's question could be given for the monogenic functions introduced by Borel only by applyi...

An upper bound for entropy production

August 1995 · Physics Letters A

For any irreversible system, classical or quantum mechanical, the time derivative of the entropy is always positive. Recently, an upper bound for the time derivative of the Shannon entropy was obtained. In the present paper, an alternative form of the bound is derived and applied to obtain an upper bound for entropy production.

Stochastic phase spaces and master Liouville spaces in statistical mechanics

August 1979 · Foundations of Physics

Eduard Prugovečki

The concept of probability space is generalized to that of stochastic probability space. This enables the introduction of representations of quantum mechanics on stochastic phase spaces. The resulting formulation of quantum statistical mechanics in terms of -distribution functions bears a remarkable resemblance to its classical counterpart. Furthermore, both classical and quantum statistical ... [Show full abstract] mechanics can be formulated in one and the same master Liouville space overL 2(). A joint derivation of a classical and quantum Boltzman equation provides an illustration of the practical uses of these formalisms.
