Hysteresis is an interesting suggestion too, so I’ll definitely look into it. Thanks again for pointing me in that direction!

Thermodynamics might have indeed been a red herring. It seems your curiosity is more about "micro" vs "macro" descriptions or...

Maybe I was approaching the problem from the wrong side by focusing on thermodynamics. What I’m really interested in is whether there...

Thanks, I really appreciate your answer! I think what I’m really interested in is the predictive side of this. If two microscopic states...

Thank you for the answers! And maybe a glass transition example is closer to what I was trying to describe. Imagine two glass samples...

I think I explained my point badly. I’m not saying that we should replace thermodynamics with a microscopic description whenever we can...

I agree that in ordinary thermodynamic situations, most microscopic information can be safely discarded. What I’m wondering is whether...

Yes I have, I recently started looking into quantum thermodynamics, especially the connection between quantum information, correlation...

I’m a chemistry student, I’ve been thinking about the connection between quantum mechanics and thermodynamics. In thermodynamics we...
