We study the mean-field theory, and the properties of fluctuations, in an out of equilibrium Bose-Fermi system, across the transition to a quantum condensed phase. The system is driven out of equilibrium by coupling to multiple baths, which…

The mean-field limit of a bosonic quantum many-body system is described by (mostly) non-linear equations of motion which may exhibit chaos very much in the spirit of classical particle chaos, i.e. by an exponential separation of…
We discuss the Hartree equation arising in the mean-field limit of large systems of bosons and explain its importance within the class of nonlinear Schroedinger equations. Of special interest to us is the Hartree equation with focusing…
The mean field approximation is numerically validated in the bosonic case by considering the time evolution of quantum states and their associated reduced density matrices by many-body Schr\"odinger dynamics. The model phase-space is…

A description of a large system of particles is often sought in a derivation from the detailed behaviour of just a few of the particles. The present thesis deals with the connection between such microscopic features and the nature of a…
