摘要
Starting with the canonical ensemble over the space of pure quantum states, we obtain an integral representation for the associated partition function. This is used to calculate the magnetisation of a system of N spin-1/2 particles. The results suggest the existence of a first order phase transition that occurs at zero temperature in the absence of spin-spin interactions. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
