In these notes I explain how to describe one-dimensional quantum systems that are simultaneously near to, but not exactly at, a critical point, and in a far-from-equilibrium steady state. This description uses a density matrix on scattering…

Physics involving more details than hydrodynamics is needed to formulate rate thermodynamics of the Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard system. The Boussinesq vector field is approached in the space of mesoscopic vector fields similarly as equilibrium…
Many-body quantum systems present a rich phenomenology which can be significantly altered when they are in contact with an environment. In order to study such setups, a number of approximations are usually performed, either concerning the…
