 View more
The Boltzmann distribution is a statistical distribution that describes the distribution of states or energies of a system in thermodynamic equilibrium at a given temperature. Named after the Austrian physicist Ludwig Boltzmann, it provides a fundamental framework for understanding how particles behave in systems where temperature and energy fluctuations are present.
