Nonequilibrium Green’s Functions Approach to Inhomogeneous Systems (Lecture Notes in Physics)

This book offers a self-contained introduction to non-equilibrium quantum particle dynamics for inhomogeneous systems, including a survey of recent breakthroughs pioneered by the authors and others. The approach is based on real-time Green’s functions.
