Attard P. Quantum Statistical Mechanics in Classical Phase..2021

Textbook in PDF format

Quantum and classical physics are presented as distinct and unrelated. Transformation to classical phase space gives researchers access to algorithms derived from classical statistical mechanics that promise results on much more favourable terms. This book offers a framework for understanding the quantum world and collective molecular behaviour.
