摘要: The problem of how to associate a statistical ensemble quantum mechanical system with an incomplete set measured averages is discussed. view adhered in this note that the most chaotic consistent reasonable choice ensemble. properties are studied rigorously for case when associated finite‐dimensional Hilbert space. results extended heuristically some particular ensembles many‐boson and many‐fermion systems.
