Calculation of thermodynamic properties of gas mixtures at high temperatures
… triatomic molecules and ions, and electrons. Quantum statistical mechanics is used to determine thermodynamic properties of each species. For the diatomic species, accurate evaluations of vibrational anharmonicity, vibration-rotation interaction, and rotational stretching corrections are …

Intrinsic Quantum Thermodynamics: Application to Hydrogen Storage on a Carbon Nanotube and Theoretical Consideration of Non-Work Interactions
Intrinsic Quantum Thermodynamics (IQT) is a theory that combines Thermodynamics and Quantum Mechanics into a single theory and asserts that irreversibility and the increase of entropy has its origin at the fundamental, atomistic level. The merits and details of IQT are discussed and compared with …

The Productive Roles of Falsehoods In Science
… which actual scientific practices in classical mechanics, mechanical engineering, quantum statistical mechanics, and evolutionary game theory are used as a foil each step along the way, illustrating the appropriate and inappropriate uses of the various ways that models may fail to describe the …

C*-algebras of the planar crystal groups and their irreducible *-representations
… the study of unitary representations of groups. Quantum theory, for example, is where representation theory of groups finds its most important physical application ([6], p.29). Moving up to the general representation theory on *algebras can often solve a problem which yields a solution in the …

Dynamical aspects of quantum information and classical simulability
Quantum many-body dynamics describes how systems of interacting particles evolve, often giving rise to collective phenomena with no classical counterpart. Understanding these dynamical phases of matter is believed to be typically hard. To simulate such dynamics, we need to either emulate it on a …
