Abstract
Data Science is a multidisciplinary field that plays a crucial role in extracting valuable insights and knowledge from large and intricate datasets. Within the realm of Data Science, two fundamental components are Information Theory (IT) and Statistical Mechanics (SM), which provide a theoretical framework for understanding dataset properties. IT enables efficient storage and transmission of information, while SM focuses on the behavior of systems comprising numerous interacting components. In the context of data science, SM allows us to model complex interactions among variables within a dataset. By leveraging these tools, data scientists can gain a profound understanding of data properties, leading to the development of advanced models and algorithms for analysis and interpretation. Consequently, data science has the potential to drive accurate predictions and enhance decision-making across various domains, including finance, marketing, healthcare, and scientific research.
In this paper, we apply this data science framework to a large and intricate quantum mechanical system composed of particles. Our research demonstrates that the dynamic and probabilistic nature of such systems can be effectively addressed using a Multiscale Entropic Dynamics (MED) approach, derived from the Boltzmann methods of SM. Through the MED approach, we can describe the system's dynamics by formulating a general form of the Nonlinear Schrodinger equation and how it can be applied to various systems with particles and quasi-particles, such as electrons, plasmons, polarons, and solitons. By employing this innovative approach, we pave the way for a deeper understanding of quantum mechanical systems and their behaviors within complex materials.
