Quantum mechanical entropy. (taken from the solution manual of Kardar's particles' book)
A QM system (defined by a Hamiltonian $H$), at temperature $T$, is described by a density matrix $\rho(t)$, which has an associated entropy $S(t)=-tr(\rho(t) \ln \rho(t)$.
Now the question is:
…

A relation between Gibbs Entropy and Boltzmann Entropy
We have Gibbs Entropy which is defined as $S_G(U,V,N)=k_B \ln \Omega_0$, where $\Omega_0$ is the number of microscopic states with energy equal or smaller than $U$. Note that this definition differs f …
