The Attempt at a Solution
The thing is..I\'m not sure how to calculate the partition function.
For a single SHO the energy levels are given by (n+1/2)hbar w so we sum over n = 0 to infinty and get the partition fn from which we can derive all thermodynamic quantities..what do we sum over here? how to do we get the partition fn?
Thanks!
