Statistical Mechanics of Phase Transitions J. M. Yeomans
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA

This debate is especially relevant to the relation between statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, and the physics of phase transition. Critical phenomena are what happens near a phase transition in statistical mechanics (stat mech is thermodynamics' sophisticated sibling). I was doing classical geophysics until the mid-1980s when I became aware of this area called complexity and chaos theory, which sounded like statistical physics, a subject I had always enjoyed. Mathematical statistical mechanics. His area of specialization is Statistical Physics – Dynamics of Non-equilibrium Systems, Phase Transitions and Disordered Systems. The usual textbooks on statistical mechanics start with the microensemble but rather quickly switch to the canonical emsemble introduced by Gibbs. The positions are funded by the ERC starting grant “Phase transitions and computational complexity”. Boltzmann's formula S=In[W(E)] defines the microcanonical ensemble.

In 1989, I met Bill Kline, who was Once you think of them like that, you can describe them with a field theory, which is pretty much the same way they describe phase transitions in high-energy physics—the decay of the false vacuum in the early universe, for instance. The application deadline is June 12th, 2013. But we can also turn it around: “Physics is informational”. One way to detect a quantum phase transition is simply to notice that ground state depends very sensitively on the parameters near such a point. Entropy-driven phase transitions of entanglement.
