Quantum mechanics and classical statistical mechanics are two physical theories that share several analogies in their mathematical apparatus and physical foundations. In particular, classical statistical mechanics is hallmarked by the complementarity between two descriptions that are unified in thermodynamics: (i) the parametrization of the system macrostate in terms of mechanical macroscopic observables $I={I^{i}}$; and (ii) the dynamical description that explains the evolution of a system towards the thermodynamic equilibrium. As expected, such a complementarity is related to the uncertainty relations of classical statistical mechanics $Delta I^{i}Delta eta_{i}geq k$. Here, $k$ is the Boltzmanns constant, $eta_{i}=partial mathcal{S}(I|theta)/partial I^{i}$ are the restituting generalized forces derived from the entropy $mathcal{S}(I|theta)$ of a closed system, which is found in an equilibrium situation driven by certain control parameters $theta={theta^{alpha}}$. These arguments constitute the central ingredients of a reformulation of classical statistical mechanics from the notion of complementarity. In this new framework, Einstein postulate of classical fluctuation theory $dp(I|theta)simexp[mathcal{S}(I|theta)/k]dI$ appears as the correspondence principle between classical statistical mechanics and thermodynamics in the limit $krightarrow0$, while the existence of uncertainty relations can be associated with the non-commuting character of certain operators.

We review the field of the glass transition, glassy dynamics and aging from a statistical mechanics perspective. We give a brief introduction to the subject and explain the main phenomenology encountered in glassy systems, with a particular emphasis
on spatially heterogeneous dynamics. We review the main theoretical approaches currently available to account for these glassy phenomena, including recent developments regarding mean-field theory of liquids and glasses, novel computational tools, and connections to the jamming transition. Finally, the physics of aging and off-equilibrium dynamics exhibited by glassy materials is discussed.
Boltzmanns ergodic hypothesis furnishes a possible explanation for the emergence of statistical mechanics in the framework of classical physics. In quantum mechanics, the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH) is instead generally considered as a
possible route to thermalization. This is because the notion of ergodicity itself is vague in the quantum world and it is often simply taken as a synonym for thermalization. Here we show, in an elementary way, that when quantum ergodicity is properly defined, it is, in fact, equivalent to ETH. In turn, ergodicity is equivalent to thermalization, thus implying the equivalence of thermalization and ETH. This result previously appeared in [De Palma et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 220401 (2015)], but becomes particularly clear in the present context. We also show that it is possible to define a classical analogue of ETH which is implicitly assumed to be satisfied when constructing classical statistical mechanics. Classical and quantum statistical mechanics are built according to the familiar standard prescription. This prescription, however, is ontologically justified only in the quantum world.
The majority game, modelling a system of heterogeneous agents trying to behave in a similar way, is introduced and studied using methods of statistical mechanics. The stationary states of the game are given by the (local) minima of a particular Hopfi
eld like hamiltonian. On the basis of a replica symmetric calculations, we draw the phase diagram, which contains the analog of a retrieval phase. The number of metastable states is estimated using the annealed approximation. The results are confronted with extensive numerical simulations.
Recently, we have presented some simple arguments supporting the existence of certain complementarity between thermodynamic quantities of temperature and energy, an idea suggested by Bohr and Heinsenberg in the early days of Quantum Mechanics. Such a
complementarity is expressed as the impossibility of perform an exact simultaneous determination of the system energy and temperature by using an experimental procedure based on the thermal equilibrium with other system regarded as a measure apparatus (thermometer). In this work, we provide a simple generalization of this latter approach with the consideration of a thermodynamic situation with several control parameters.
The local equilibrium approach previously developed by the Authors [J. Mabillard and P. Gaspard, J. Stat. Mech. (2020) 103203] for matter with broken symmetries is applied to crystalline solids. The macroscopic hydrodynamics of crystals and their loc
al thermodynamic and transport properties are deduced from the microscopic Hamiltonian dynamics. In particular, the Green-Kubo formulas are obtained for all the transport coefficients. The eight hydrodynamic modes and their dispersion relation are studied for general and cubic crystals. In the same twenty crystallographic classes as those compatible with piezoelectricity, cross effects coupling transport between linear momentum and heat or crystalline order are shown to split the degeneracy of damping rates for modes propagating in opposite generic directions.
