Microcanonical and resource-theoretic derivations of the thermal state of a quantum system with noncommuting charges

The grand canonical ensemble lies at the core of quantum and classical statistical mechanics. A small system thermalizes to this ensemble while exchanging heat and particles with a bath. A quantum system may exchange quantities represented by operators that fail to commute. Whether such a system the...
