Classical approximations to Gibbs states
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Abstract
We obtain two approximate representations of a one-particle Gibbs state, both of which become asymptotically exact in trace norm as m → ∞. The second representation is an integral of pure coherent states over phase space, and can therefore be regarded as a classical approximation to the Gibbs state. We also obtain a version of the second representation applicable to the microcanonical ensemble.
