A statistical ensemble and the quantization of thermodynamics
The author generalizes the free energy operator to the case of systems with interaction. To quantize free energy, the author uses the fundamental concept of statistical ensemble. He derives the equations of quantized thermodynamics from the Gibbs ensemble and obtains a representation of the new equation which permits a formal passage to the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer equations.
