It is shown that early suggested derivation of the Boltzmann kinetic equation for dilute hard sphere gas from the time-reversible BBGKY equations is incorrect since in fact a priori substitutes for them definite irreversible equations.…
We consider the quantum many-body dynamics at the weak-coupling scaling. We derive rigorously the quantum Boltzmann equation, which contains the classical hard sphere model and, effectively, the inverse power law model, from the many-body…
