  • More about Nonequilibrium Quantum Field Theory


This 2008 book combines nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and quantum field theory to explain nonequilibrium quantum field theory. It covers key concepts, techniques, and applications in research areas such as phase transitions, thermalization, Bose-Einstein condensation, and the generation of structures from quantum fluctuations. It is a valuable reference for graduate students and researchers in particle physics, gravitation, cosmology, and atomic-optical and condensed matter physics.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 552 pages
Publication date: 09 February 2023
Publisher: Cambridge University Press


This groundbreaking 2008 book seamlessly blends nonequilibrium statistical mechanics with the powerful methodology of quantum field theory, encapsulating the very essence of nonequilibrium quantum field theory. It begins by delving into the foundational aspects of the theory, presenting essential concepts and practical techniques that are of utmost importance. The book then proceeds to explore a range of intriguing topics, including thermal field, linear response, kinetic theories, and hydrodynamics. Through these discussions, it becomes evident how these concepts seamlessly emerge and find applications in diverse research areas such as nonequilibrium phase transitions, thermalization in relativistic heavy ion collisions, the nonequilibrium dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensation, and the generation of structures from quantum fluctuations in the early Universe.

As a self-contained resource, this book is an invaluable reference for advanced graduate students and researchers in the fields of particle physics, gravitation, cosmology, atomic-optical and condensed matter physics. Recognizing its significance, it has been reissued as an Open Access publication on Cambridge Core, ensuring widespread accessibility and dissemination of its valuable insights.
