內容簡介
The purpose of this book is to provide an introduction to the applications of quantum field theoretic methods to systems out of equilibrium. The reason for adding a book on the subject of quantum field theory is two-fold: the presentation is, to my knowledge, the first to extensively present and apply to non-equilibrium phenomena the real-time approach originally developed by Schwinger, and subsequently applied by Keldysh and others to derive transport equations. Secondly, the aim is to show the universality of the method by applying it to a broad range of phenomena. The book should thus not just be of interest to condensed matter physicists, but to physicists in general as the method is of general interest with applications ranging the whole scale from high-energy to soft condensed matter physics. The universality of the method, as testified by the range of topics covered, reveals that the language of quantum fields is the universal description of fluctuations, be they of quantum nature, thermal or classical stochastic. The book is thus intended as a contribution to unifying the languages used in separate fields of physics, providing a universal tool for describing non-equilibrium states.

The purpose of this book is to provide an introduction to the applications of quantum field theoretic methods to systems out of equilibrium.

Chapter 1 introduces the basic notions of quantum field theory, the bose and fermi quantum fields operating on the multi-particle state spaces. In Chapter 2, op- erators on the multi-particle space representing physical quantities of a many-body system are constructed. The detailed exposition in these two chapters is intended to ensure the book is self-contained. In Chapter 3, the quantum dynamics of a many-body system is described in terms of its quantum fields and their correla- tion functions, the Gr
