Talk given at DICE2014", "categories": [ "quant-ph" ], "abstract": "Quantum statistical methods that are commonly used for the derivation of classical thermodynamic properties are extended to classical mechanical properties. The usual assumption that every real motion of a classical mechanical system is represented by a sharp trajectory is not testable and is replaced by a class of fuzzy models, the so-called maximum entropy (ME) packets. The fuzzier are the compared classical and quantum ME packets, the better seems to be the match between their dynamical trajectories. Classical and quantum models of a stiff rod will be constructed to illustrate the resulting unified quantum theory of thermodynamic and mechanical properties.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-12-12T12:35:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum models", "classical systems", "mechanical properties", "quantum statistical methods", "usual assumption" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1088/1742-6596/626/1/012036", "journal": "Journal of Physics Conference Series", "year": 2015, "month": "Jul", "volume": 626, "number": 1, "pages": "012036" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015JPhCS.626a2036H" } } }
