Ensemble Theory

Ensemble Theory is a theoretical framework in statistical mechanics that describes the statistical properties of a mechanical system by considering a large collection of identical systems in different microscopic states, distinguished from other frameworks by its use of probability distributions over all possible states to predict macroscopic thermodynamic behavior.
