Nonequilibrium Relativistic Quantum Many-Body Theory
by Hendrik van Hees
Publisher: Frankfurt Institute of Advanced Studies 2013
Number of pages: 149
Description:
The following manuscript aims at an introduction to modern methods in relativistic quantum many-body theory. We introduce many-body techniques, using relativistic quantum field theory, emphasizing the so-called real-time formulation, which allows the investigation of dynamical properties of quantum systems.

Quantum Dissipative Systemsby F. Guinea, E. Bascones, M.J. Calderon
An interesting topic of quantum mechanics is the study of open quantum systems. By it, we mean a simple quantum system, described by one or a few degrees of freedom, interacting with a background characterized by a continuum of excitations.
