There is however a disconnection between these laws and everyday life experiences, as we do not find it necessary (nor even theoretically possible) to know exactly at a microscopic level the simultaneous positions and velocities of each molecule while carrying out processes at the human scale (for example, when performing a chemical reaction). Statistical mechanics fills this disconnection between the laws of mechanics and the practical experience of incomplete knowledge, by adding some uncertainty about which state the system is in.

然而，这些定律与日常生活经验之间存在脱节，因为我们认为，在人类尺度上进行过程(例如，进行化学反应时)时，没有必要(甚至在理论上也不可能)在微观层面上准确地知道每个分子同时存在的位置和速度。统计力学填补了力学定律和不完全知识的实践经验之间的这种脱节，通过增加一些不确定性，系统处于何种状态。

Whereas ordinary mechanics only considers the behaviour of a single state, statistical mechanics introduces the statistical ensemble, which is a large collection of virtual, independent copies of the system in various states. The statistical ensemble is a probability distribution over all possible states of the system. In classical statistical mechanics, the ensemble is a probability distribution over phase points (as opposed to a single phase point in ordinary mechanics), usually represented as a distribution in a phase space with canonical coordinates. In quantum statistical mechanics, the ensemble is a probability distribution over pure states, and can be compactly summarized as a density matrix.

普通力学只考虑单一状态的行为，而统计力学引入了系综系统，它是系统在不同状态下的大量虚拟、独立副本的集合。系综是一个覆盖系统所有可能状态的概率分布。在经典的统计力学中，系综是相点上的概率分布(与普通力学中的单相点相反) ，通常表现为相空间中的正则坐标分布。在量子统计力学中，系综是纯态上的概率分布，可以简单地概括为密度矩阵。
