| Tóm tắt: | 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. |
