Statistical Mechanics
“What are the microstates? What macroscopic observables emerge from their statistics?”
Written for researchers in Statistical Mechanics
If you work in this field, edit this specialist: its diagnostic question, the canonical models it reasons from and the biases it should watch for. Your name is credited on it and on every study that uses it.
