In this new work, statistical mechanics is used to understand how different mathematical models "compete" when trying to explain a system. This matters because many scientific fields rely on ...

The field of statistical mechanics applied to neural networks and Boltzmann machines has grown into a multidisciplinary research area that bridges the gap between theoretical physics, mathematics and ...

PROF. R. H. FOWLER'S monumental work on statistical mechanics has, in this the second edition, in his own modest words, been rearranged and brought more up to date. But the new volume is much more ...

Modeling of systems with emergent behavior. The course has two components: (1) basic and intermediate statistical mechanics, and (2) application of the course methods to a case study, chosen from ...

If I roll a pair of dice and you get to bet on one number, what do you choose? The smart choice is 7 because there are more ways for 2 dice to come up 7 than any other number. Well, it turns out that ...

I RECENTLY walked by a physics department office that had a sticker on it saying something like “Heisenberg may or may not have been here”. This is in part a nod to the quantum cat, which, while it is ...
