About The Book

This revised edition of Nonequilibrium Quantum Field Theory brings together key ideas from nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and quantum field theory, offering a powerful methodology for understanding quantum phenomena in nonequilibrium systems. Initially published in 2008, the book captures the essence of nonequilibrium quantum field theory, presenting both the theoretical concepts and mathematical tools necessary to explore this complex area of physics.

Designed as a valuable reference for graduate students and researchers, this edition includes key updates and clarifications. It is now available as an Open Access publication on Cambridge Core, making it even more accessible to those in academia and research institutions.

The book provides a comprehensive treatment of topics such as:

• Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics: Understanding statistical behavior in systems far from equilibrium.

• Quantum Field Theory: Application of quantum field theoretical concepts to nonequilibrium systems.

• Methodologies and Applications: Using quantum field theory to model and solve problems in nonequilibrium scenarios.

This text is an essential reference for those working in the fields of theoretical physics, quantum mechanics, and statistical mechanics.

This edition is a thorough guide for researchers and students eager to deepen their understanding of nonequilibrium quantum field theory, and is particularly valuable for those dealing with complex systems beyond equilibrium.
