The term "Q-exponential" typically refers to a generalization of the standard exponential function in the context of non-extensive statistical mechanics and is associated with the concept of Tsallis entropy. In Tsallis statistics, the Q-exponential function is used to describe systems that exhibit non-extensive behavior, meaning they do not obey the standard additive properties of probability, which are used in classical statistical mechanics.
