Statistical field theory — A statistical field theory is any model in statistical mechanics where the degrees of freedom comprise a field or fields. In other words, the microstates of the system are expressed through field configurations. It is closely related to quantum… … Wikipedia
Partition function (statistical mechanics) — For other uses, see Partition function (disambiguation). Partition function describe the statistical properties of a system in thermodynamic equilibrium. It is a function of temperature and other parameters, such as the volume enclosing a gas.… … Wikipedia
Quantum statistical mechanics — is the study of statistical ensembles of quantum mechanical systems. A statistical ensemble is described by a density operator S , which is a non negative, self adjoint, trace class operator of trace 1 on the Hilbert space H describing the… … Wikipedia
