A study has developed a new method that enables quantum computers to measure the thermodynamic properties of systems by calculating the zeros of the partition function.

Some asymptotic formulae given elsewhere for the zeros of the incomplete gamma function γ (a, x) are corrected. A plot of a few of the zero trajectories of the function γ (xw, x) is given, where x is ...

The trajectories followed in the complex plane by all the zeros of the Hankel function and those of its derivative, when the order varies continuously along real values, are discussed.
