  • Understanding Bose-Einstein Condensation, Superfluidity, and High-Temperature Superconductivity

    by Phil Attard ...
    Bose-Einstein condensation, superfluidity, and superconductivity are quantum mechanics made visible. They mark the boundary between the classical and the quantum worlds, and they show the macroscopic role of quantum mechanics in condensed matter.This book presents these phenomena in terms of particles, their positions, and their momenta, giving a concrete visualisation and description that is not ...

  • Entropy Beyond the Second Law (Second Edition)

    Thermodynamics and statistical mechanics for equilibrium, non-equilibrium, classical, and quantum systems

    by Phil Attard ...
    Series series IOP ebooks
    Entropy Beyond the Second Law presents a coherent formulation of all aspects of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics with entropy as the unifying theme. This second edition includes the novel entropic treatment of Bose-Einstein condensation, superfluidity, and high temperature superconductivity. The new physical insights and the quantitative agreement with experimental measurement provide ... Read more

  • Quantum Statistical Mechanics in Classical Phase Space

    by Phil Attard ...
    Series series IOP ebooks
    Quantum and classical results are often presented as being dependent upon separate postulates as if the two are distinct and unrelated, and there is little attempt to show how the quantum implies the classical. The transformation to classical phase space gives researchers access to a range of algorithms derived from classical statistical mechanics that promise results on much more favourable ... Read more

  • Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics

    Equilibrium by Entropy Maximisation

    by Phil Attard ...
    The account of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics in Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics is based on entropy and its maximization. Building from first principles, it gives a transparent explanation of the physical behaviour of equilibrium thermodynamic systems, and it presents a comprehensive, self-contained account of the modern mathematical and computational techniques of statistical ...

  • Entropy Beyond the Second Law

    Thermodynamics and statistical mechanics for equilibrium, non-equilibrium, classical, and quantum systems

    by Phil Attard ...
    Series series IOP Expanding Physics
    Entropy Beyond the Second Law presents a coherent formulation of all aspects of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics with entropy as the unifying theme. This includes formulating equilibrium theory and explaining the role of the Second Law in establishing the equilibrium state. It also establishes the foundations of non-equilibrium theory by generalizing the concept of entropy in an ... Read more

  • Quantum Statistical Mechanics

    Equilibrium and non-equilibrium theory from first principles

    by Phil Attard ...
    Series series IOP Expanding Physics
    This book establishes the foundations of non-equilibrium quantum statistical mechanics in order to support students and academics in developing and building their understanding. The formal theory is derived from first principles by mathematical analysis, with concrete physical interpretations and worked examples throughout. It explains the central role of entropy; its relation to the probability ... Read more

  • An Introduction to Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics

    by Robert H. Swendsen ...
    Series series Oxford Graduate Texts
    This text presents the two complementary aspects of thermal physics as an integrated theory of the properties of matter. Conceptual understanding is promoted by thorough development of basic concepts. In contrast to many texts, statistical mechanics, including discussion of the required probability theory, is presented first. This provides a statistical foundation for the concept of entropy, which ... Read more
