gibbs distribution
Gibbs distribution refers to a probability distribution used in statistical mechanics to describe the equilibrium state of a physical system. It characterizes the likelihood of different states of the system based on the energy of those states, temperature, and other relevant factors. The distribution follows the principle of maximum entropy and is named after the physicist J. Willard Gibbs.
