quantum theory of heat capacity [′kwän·təm ‚thē·ə·rē əv ′hēt kə‚pas·əd·ē]

(statistical mechanics)

Application of quantum statistics to calculate heat capacities of various substances; an important result of the theory is the decrease of specific heats at low temperatures to values smaller than their classical values as a result of energy quantization.
