Interacting particle systems Statistical physics aims at describing collective behaviour in systems consisting of a very large number of interacting particles (= atoms or molecules). This is a daunting task: a glass of water or a piece of iron can easily contain 100.000.000.000.000.000.000.000 particles. Still, the hope is that the macroscopic properties of these particles […]
