Derivation of the density operator with quantum analysis for the generalized Gibbs ensemble in quantum statistics

Abstract

We derived the equation of the density operator for generalized entropy and generalized expectation value with quantum analysis when conserved quantities exist. The derived equation is simplified when the conventional expectation value is employed. The derived equation is also simplified when the commutation relations, $[\hatρ, \hat{H}]$ and $[\hatρ, \hat{Q}^{[a]}]$, are the functions of the density operator $\hatρ$, where $\hat{H}$ is the Hamiltonian, and $\hat{Q}^{[a]}$ is the conserved quantity. We derived the density operators for the von Neumann entropy, the Tsallis entropy, and the Rényi entropy in the case of the conventional expectation value. We also derived the density operators for the Tsallis entropy and the Rényi entropy in the case of the escort average (the normalized $q$-expectation value), when the density operator commutes with the Hamiltonian and the conserved quantities. We found that the argument of the density operator for the canonical ensemble is simply extended to the argument for the generalized Gibbs ensemble in the case of the conventional expectation value, even when conserved quantities do not commute. The simple extension of the argument is also shown in the case of the escort average, when the density operator $\hatρ$ commutes with the Hamiltonian $\hat{H}$ and the conserved quantity $\hat{Q}^{[a]}$: $[\hatρ, \hat{H}] = [\hatρ, \hat{Q}^{[a]}]=0$. These findings imply that the argument of the density operator for the canonical ensemble is simply extended to the argument for the generalized Gibbs ensemble in some systems.

Universal sampling of spin systems across quenched disorder

Statistical physics extracts macroscopic laws by averaging over the many microscopic degrees of freedom of a system. Disordered systems demand a second and far harder average, one over the quenched randomness itself. The classic analytical routes, the replica and cavity methods, become uncontrolled outside mean-field or tree-like limits, and conventional numerical algorithms like parallel tempering require expensive, independent equilibration for every disorder realization. In this work, we introduce a universal neural variational framework that amortizes inference across the disorder ensemble, eliminating both the need for per-instance Markov chain equilibration and the cost of retraining instance-specific variational ansatzes. Built on an encoder-decoder Transformer architecture, after training once, it produces an explicit approximation to the Boltzmann distribution given previously unseen disorder realizations without further optimization. We validate this framework on 2D Edwards-Anderson models, and apply it to the random-bond Ising model, successfully capturing the Binder cumulant crossings near the Nishimori multicritical point. These results shift the object of variational inference from the single instance to the disorder ensemble, opening a route to frustrated many-body systems where instance-by-instance computation is prohibitive.

Information-Theoretic Characterization of Macroscopic Chaos Emerging from the Chemical Master Equation

Open chemical reaction networks exhibit stochastic concentration dynamics at finite system sizes, whereas their macroscopic limit is governed by deterministic rate equations that can display chaos. In this Letter, we show theoretically that a rate of information loss constructed from two-time mutual information recovers the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy in the deterministic limit. We verify this result through numerical simulations of a Markov jump process for a three-species system involving seven reactions.

Orientational order on non-orientable domains

We study the statistical properties of passive and active many-body systems with orientational degrees of freedom on non-orientable domains. By rephrasing topological constraints as non-local symmetry relations on an orientable double-cover, we show that non-orientability eliminates global rotational soft modes without acting like an external field. In a passive XY model, this results in topological caging, where orientational fluctuations that exhibit conventional diffusive behavior on a torus saturate on a Klein bottle to a finite value that we compute exactly in the thermodynamic limit. In models of active self-propelled particles with orientational degrees of freedom, topological caging persists despite continuously changing interaction neighborhoods. In an active Ising spin model, non-orientability enforces the coexistence of ordered anti-parallel domains with vanishing global polar order, a state that is absent on orientable domains.
