Introduction to classical and quantum statistics
Classical statistics deals with systems that follow classical mechanics and obey the laws
of classical physics. In classical statistics, systems are described by macroscopic
variables, such as position, velocity, or energy. Classical statistical methods, such as the
Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution or Gibbs ensemble, are used to analyze the statistical
properties of classical systems.
quantum statistics is concerned with systems that follow quantum mechanics, which is
the theory that describes the behavior of microscopic particles, atoms, and molecules.
Quantum statistics take into account the wave-particle duality of particles and the
indistinguishability of identical particles.
Introduction to classical and quantum statistics
Quantum systems are described by wave functions that evolve according to the
Schrödinger equation, and the properties of the system are represented by operators and
bosons and the Fermi-Dirac distribution for fermions, are used to analyze the statistical
Classical statistics
• This branch is based on the classical results of Maxwell-Boltzmann
(M-B) statistics.
Three kinds of identical particles:
1. Identical particles of any spin which are seperated in the assembly and can be
distinguished from one another .the molecules of the gas are particles of this
kinds
2. Identical particles of zero or integer spin which can not be distinguished from
one another .thease particles are known as Bosons .they do not obey pauli 's
exclusion principles .photons, alpha particles etc.
3. Identical particles of half integer spin which cannot be distinguished from one
another these particles obey Pauli's exclusion principles. ex. Electrons…
Pauli exclusion principle
This one was first derived by Maxwell in 1860. and Boltzmann later, in the 1870.
Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution is a result of the kinetic theory of gases which provides a
simplified explanation of many fundamental gaseous properties,
including pressure and diffusion, their particles are Identical with distinguished from one
another,

Ludwig Boltzmann
Maxwell-Boltzmann Law of energy
where:
…(1) • εi is the energy of the i-th energy level
• ⟨Ni⟩ is the average number of particles in
the set of states with energy εi
Equation (1): represents the • gi is the degeneracy of energy level i, that is,
Maxwell-Boltzmann Law of the number of states with energy εi
energy • μ is the chemical potential,
• k is the Boltzmann constant,
• T is absolute temperature
Particle distribution in Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution
• There is no exist external forces, No forces between particles except when they collide.

two particles in 3 cells
In such a system, there is not a difference between any of these particles, and the particles
are bosons. Bosons are fundamental particles like the photon.

One of the applications of Bose-Einstein spectrum distribution
Where:
kB is the Boltzmann constant
T is the absolute temperature
εi is the energy of the single-particle state i, and
μ is the total chemical potential
