  2. Canonical - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonical

    Canonical stress–energy tensor, a conserved current associated with translations through space and time; Canonical theory, a unified molecular theory of physics, chemistry, and biology; Canonical conjugate variables, pairs of variables mathematically defined in such a way that they become Fourier transform duals

  3. Resonance (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonance_(chemistry)

    Contributing structures of the carbonate ion. In chemistry, resonance, also called mesomerism, is a way of describing bonding in certain molecules or polyatomic ions by the combination of several contributing structures (or forms, [1] also variously known as resonance structures or canonical structures) into a resonance hybrid (or hybrid structure) in valence bond theory.

  4. Localized molecular orbitals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localized_molecular_orbitals

    Localized molecular orbitals (LMO) [4] are obtained by unitary transformation upon a set of canonical molecular orbitals (CMO). The transformation usually involves the optimization (either minimization or maximization) of the expectation value of a specific operator.

  5. Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplified_Molecular_Input...

    Various algorithms for generating canonical SMILES have been developed and include those by Daylight Chemical Information Systems, OpenEye Scientific Software, MEDIT, Chemical Computing Group, MolSoft LLC, and the Chemistry Development Kit. A common application of canonical SMILES is indexing and ensuring uniqueness of molecules in a database.

  6. Molecular orbital - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_orbital

    In chemistry, a molecular orbital (/ ɒr b ə d l /) is a mathematical function describing the location and wave-like behavior of an electron in a molecule. This function can be used to calculate chemical and physical properties such as the probability of finding an electron in any specific region.

  7. Canonical ensemble - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonical_ensemble

    The canonical ensemble is the only ensemble with constant N, V, and T that reproduces the fundamental thermodynamic relation. [9] Statistical equilibrium (steady state): A canonical ensemble does not evolve over time, despite the fact that the underlying system is in constant motion. This is because the ensemble is only a function of a ...

  8. Partition function (statistical mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_function...

    For a canonical ensemble that is quantum mechanical and discrete, the canonical partition function is defined as the trace of the Boltzmann factor: = ⁡ (^), where: tr ⁡ ( ∘ ) {\displaystyle \operatorname {tr} (\circ )} is the trace of a matrix;

  9. Density matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_matrix

    Constructing a density matrix using a canonical ensemble gives a result of the form = ⁡ / (), where is the inverse temperature () and is the system's Hamiltonian. The normalization condition that the trace of ρ {\displaystyle \rho } be equal to 1 defines the partition function to be Z ( β ) = t r exp ⁡ ( − β H ) {\displaystyle Z(\beta ...
