Abstract
We study the process of spinodal decomposition in a scalar quantum field theory that is quenched from an equilibrium disordered initial state at to a final state at . The process of formation and growth of correlated domains is studied in a Hartree approximation. We find an approximate scaling law for the size of the domains at long times for weakly coupled theories, with the zero temperature correlation length.
