Product Description
Bringing together the key ideas from nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and powerful methodology from quantum field theory, this 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 and methodology are applied to current 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. Divided into five parts, each part addresses a particular stage in the conceptual and technical development of the subject.
Book Description
Capturing the essence of nonequilibrium quantum field theory, this self-contained book covers the foundational aspects, presents important concepts and useful techniques, and discusses issues of basic interest. This book is a valuable reference for graduate students and researchers in particle physics, gravitation, cosmology, atomic-optical and condensed matter physics.

A good reference of NQFT November 12, 2008
This is a very good reference book, summarizing the work that the authors have done. Nonequilibrium quantum field theory is something new to many physicists, and this book provides a very clear explanation about the basic formalisms, physics, and its application in condensed matter physics, high energy physics and cosmology.
