Abstract

Thermo field dynamics of quantum spin systems is formulated, which gives a new variational principle at finite temperatures. The KMS relation is reformulated as identities among thermal vacuum states. Path integral formulations of the thermal vacuum state are given, which yield a new “thermo field Monte Carlo method.” Thermo field dynamics of finite-spin systems are studied in detail as simple examples of the present method. Pertubational expansion methods of the thermal state and time-dependent state are also given.
