The approach is genuine quantum in the sense that statistical behavior is a consequence of objective quantum uncertainties due to entanglement and uncertainty relations. No additional randomness is added by hand and no assumptions about a priori probabilities are made, instead measure concentration results are used to justify the methods of Statistical Physics. The approach explains the applicability of the microcanonical and canonical ensemble and the tendency to equilibrate in a natural way. This work contains a pedagogical review of the existing literature and some new results. The most important of which are: i) A measure theoretic justification for the microcanonical ensemble. ii) Bounds on the subsystem equilibration time. iii) A proof that a generic weak interaction causes decoherence in the energy eigenbasis. iv) A proof of a quantum H-Theorem. v) New estimates of the average effective dimension for initial product states and states from the mean energy ensemble. vi) A proof that time and ensemble averages of observables are typically close to each other. vii) A bound on the fluctuations of the purity of a system coupled to a bath.}, subject = {Quantenstatistik}, language = {en} } @misc{Gross2022, type = {Master Thesis}, author = {Groß, Lennart}, title = {Point-spread function engineering for single-molecule localization microscopy in brain slices}, doi = {10.25972/OPUS-28259}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-282596}, school = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) is the method of choice to study biological specimens on a nanoscale level. Advantages of SMLM imply its superior specificity due to targeted molecular fluorescence labeling and its enhanced tissue preservation compared to electron microscopy, while reaching similar resolution. To reveal the molecular organization of protein structures in brain tissue, SMLM moves to the forefront: Instead of investigating brain slices with a thickness of a few µm, measurements of intact neuronal assemblies (up to 100 µm in each dimension) are required. As proteins are distributed in the whole brain volume and can move along synapses in all directions, this method is promising in revealing arrangements of neuronal protein markers. However, diffraction-limited imaging still required for the localization of the fluorophores is prevented by sample-induced distortion of emission pattern due to optical aberrations in tissue slices from non-superficial planes. In particular, the sample causes wavefront dephasing, which can be described as a summation of Zernike polynomials. To recover an optimal point spread function (PSF), active shaping can be performed by the use of adaptive optics. The aim of this thesis is to establish a setup using a deformable mirror and a wavefront sensor to actively shape the PSF to correct the wavefront phases in a super-resolution microscope setup. Therefore, fluorescence-labeled proteins expressed in different anatomical regions in brain tissue will be used as experiment specimen. Resolution independent imaging depth in slices reaching tens of micrometers is aimed.}, subject = {Einzelmolek{\"u}lmikroskopie}, language = {en} }
