Hamiltonian for an Ideal Gas in a Cubic Box
#IdealGasLet be the number of particles and be the volume of a cubic box. The phase space is defined by the dimension (representing three spatial components and three momentum components for each particle). For a configuration in phase space consisting of positions and momenta (where and ), the Hamiltonian is defined as follows: If all particles are located within the cube of side-length centered at the origin, such that for all and , the energy is the sum of the kinetic energies (assuming normalized mass ). If any particle is outside this volume, the energy is infinite ().
