A study has developed a new method that enables quantum computers to measure the thermodynamic properties of systems by calculating the zeros of the partition function. A study led by researchers at ...

Description: The molecular intepretation of thermodynamic equilibrium. Development of the partition function. Introduction to quantum mechanics and molecular spectroscopy. The Maxwell-Boltzmann ...

The statistical physics of graphs and partition functions represents a vibrant intersection of graph theory, statistical mechanics and computational complexity. By summing over an ensemble of ...

Thermodynamics and statistical physics provide a unified framework linking the macroscopic laws of energy, work, and entropy to the microscopic motions of particles. Thermodynamics, rooted in the laws ...
