A study has developed a new method that enables quantum computers to measure the thermodynamic properties of systems by calculating the zeros of the partition function. A study led by researchers at ...

The statistical physics of graphs and partition functions represents a vibrant intersection of graph theory, statistical mechanics and computational complexity. By summing over an ensemble of ...

Partition functions, which enumerate the distinct ways a positive integer may be expressed as a sum of positive integers, have long captivated mathematicians due to their deep connections with number ...
