Nonequilibrium quantum fields from first principles
Calculations of nonequilibrium processes become more and more possible in quantum field theory from first principles. There has been important progress in our analytical understanding based on 2PI generating functionals. In addition, for the first time direct lattice simulations based on stochastic quantization techniques have been achieved. The quantitative descriptions of characteristic far-f...

The advent of relativistic heavy-ion collision experiments as well as rapid progress in cosmological observations triggered an enormous increase of interest in the dynamics of quantum fields out of equilibrium. Much progress has been achieved for systems close to thermal equilibrium using (non-)linear response techniques or with effective descriptions based on a separation of scales in the weak...
متن کاملProgress in Nonequilibrium Quantum Field Theory
Nonequilibrium quantum fields play a central role in various areas of physics, such as cosmology, ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions, or condensed matter physics. A timely example in cosmology concerns the issue of reheating of the early universe: At the end of inflation the universe is left in a frozen albeit very high-energy state, very different from the subsequent hot universe observed...
متن کاملBistability in the Electric Current through a Quantum-Dot Capacitively Coupled to a Charge-Qubit
We investigate the electronic transport through a single-level quantum-dot which is capacitively coupled to a charge-qubit. By employing the method of nonequilibrium Green's functions, we calculate the electric current through quantum dot at finite bias voltages. The Green's functions and self-energies of the system are calculated perturbatively and self-consistently to the second order of inte...
متن کاملSpin-channel Keldysh field theory for weakly interacting quantum dots
We develop a low-energy nonequilibrium field theory for weakly interacting quantum dots. The theory is based on the Keldysh field integral in the spin channel of the quantum dot described by the single-impurity Anderson Hamiltonian. The effective Keldysh action is a functional of the Hubbard-Stratonovich magnetization field decoupling the quantum dot spin channel. We expand this action up to th...
