Concept of the Statistical Ensemble

摘要

In this chapter we will discuss the difference between micro- and macro-states and introduce the statistical operator in quantum mechanics. Observables then are defined by matrix elements within the micro-states and by a statistical average over the ensemble. The differences to the classical density function will be pointed out explicitly.
