Thermodynamics and statistical physics provide complementary frameworks for describing many-particle systems. Thermodynamics identifies a small set of macroscopic variables—energy, entropy, volume, ...
Statistical physics relates the properties of macroscale systems to the distributions of their microscale agents. Its central tool has been the maximization of entropy, an equilibrium variational ...
Quasiprobability distributions resemble probability distributions but can contain negative and imaginary values. Such distributions represent quantum states as probability distributions over phase ...
