商品描述

Bringing together the key ideas from nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and powerful methodology from quantum field theory, this 2008 book captures the essence of nonequilibrium quantum field theory. Beginning with the foundational aspects of the theory, the book presents important concepts and useful techniques, discusses issues of basic interest, and shows how thermal field, linear response, kinetic theories and hydrodynamics emerge. It also illustrates how these concepts are applied to research topics including 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. This self-contained book is a valuable reference for graduate students and researchers in particle physics, gravitation, cosmology, atomic-optical and condensed matter physics. It has been reissued as an Open Access publication on Cambridge Core.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本於2008年出版的書籍結合了非平衡統計力學的關鍵理念和量子場論的強大方法,捕捉了非平衡量子場論的本質。從理論的基礎方面開始,本書介紹了重要的概念和有用的技巧,討論了基本問題,並展示了熱場、線性響應、動力學理論和流體力學的出現。它還說明了這些概念如何應用於研究主題,包括非平衡相變、相對論重離子碰撞中的熱化、玻色-愛因斯坦凝聚的非平衡動力學,以及早期宇宙中由量子波動引起的結構生成。這本自成一體的書籍對於粒子物理學、引力學、宇宙學、原子光學和凝聚態物理的研究生和研究人員來說是一個有價值的參考資料。它已經以開放存取的形式重新發行在Cambridge Core上。
