Scientific paper

We discuss the condition for the validity of equilibrium quantum statistical
mechanics in the light of recent developments in the understanding of classical
and quantum chaotic motion. In particular, the ergodicity parameter is shown to
provide the conditions under which quantum statistical distributions can be
derived from the quantum dynamics of a classical ergodic Hamiltonian system.
