We also conjecture that the same equivalence will hold in the grand-canonical ensemble for any noninteracting quantum gas with a discrete ladder-type spectrum whenever $\\sigma \\Delta / N k_{\\rm B} T$ is small, where $N$ is the average particle number and $\\sigma$ its standard deviation, $\\Delta$ is the level spacing, $k_{\\rm B}$ is Boltzmann's constant, and $T$ is the temperature.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-06-11T15:59:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "fermi gases", "thermodynamic equivalence", "ideal bose", "average particle number", "discrete ladder-type spectrum" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "RevTeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
