Abstract: Building upon the framework established in our recent work [M. Seifi et al., Phys. Rev. E 111, 054114 (2025)10.1103/PhysRevE.111.054114], wherein a generalized Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution was formulated using the Mittag-Leffler function within the superstatistical formalism, we extend this approach to the quantum domain. Specifically, we introduce two statistical distributions-termed the Mittag-Leffler-Bose-Einstein (MLBE) and Mittag-Leffler-Fermi-Dirac (MLFD) distributions-constructed by generalizing the conventional Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac distributions through the Mittag-Leffler function. This generalization incorporates a deformation parameter α, which facilitates a continuous interpolation between bosonic and fermionic statistics, while inherently capturing nonequilibrium effects and generalized thermodynamic behavior. We analyze the thermodynamic geometry associated with these distributions and identify significant departures from standard statistical models. Notably, the MLBE distribution manifests a Bose-Einstein-like condensation even in the absence of interactions, whereas the MLFD distribution exhibits unconventional features, such as negative heat capacity in the low-temperature regime. These findings highlight the pivotal role of statistical deformation in determining emergent macroscopic thermodynamic phenomena.
