Description of isolated macroscopic systems inside quantum mechanics (Q5942384): Difference between revisions

For an isolated macrosystem classical state parameters (like mean velocity, temperature or chemical potential) are introduced as representatives of concrete preparation procedures of Gibbs-type state. A statistical operator is constructed as a solution of the Liouville-von Neumann equation and compared with Zubarev's non-equilibrium statistical operator [\textit{D. N. Zubarev} et al. ``Statistical mechanics of nonequilibrium processes, Akademie-Verlag, Berlin (1996; Zbl 0890.00008)].
