Boltzmann Distribution

The Boltzmann Distribution is a probability distribution that specifies the probability of a system in thermal equilibrium occupying a particular state as proportional to the exponential of the negative ratio of the state's energy to the thermal energy, distinguishing it from other statistical distributions by its foundational role in describing systems at constant temperature in the canonical ensemble.
