Arrowed-time divergence-free rules or cosmological quantum dynamics are formulated through stepped Feynman paths across macroscopic slices of Milne spacetime. Slice boundaries house totally-relativistic rays representing elementary…
Weakly interacting quantum fluids allow for a natural kinetic theory description which takes into account the fermionic or bosonic nature of the interacting particles. In the simplest cases, one arrives at the Boltzmann-Nordheim equations…

We study the cosmology of a quadratic metric-compatible torsionful gravity theory in the presence of a perfect hyperfluid. The gravitational action is an extension of the Einstein-Cartan theory given by the usual Einstein-Hilbert…
We develop a quantum kinetic theory for QCD, which incorporates all leading order collision terms. At lowest order in gradient expansion, it reproduces the spin-averaged Boltzmann equation with both elastic and inelastic collisions. At next…
We discuss the density fluctuations of a fluid due to zero point motion. These can be regarded as density fluctuations in the phonon vacuum state. We assume a linear dispersion relation with a fixed speed of sound and calculate the density…

By combining methods of kinetic and density functional theory, we present a description of molecular fluids which accounts for their microscopic structure and thermodynamic properties as well as for the hydrodynamic behavior. We focus on…
Quantum kinetic theory is an important tool for studying non-equilibrium, non-perturbative and non-linear interactions within an open quantum system, and as such is able to provide an unprecedented view on particle production in the…
A system of inelastic hard disks in a thin pipe capped by hot walls is studied with the aim of investigating velocity correlations between particles. Two effects lead to such correlations: inelastic collisions help to build localized…
We consider a quantum particle coupled (with strength $\la$) to a spatial array of independent non-interacting reservoirs in thermal states (heat baths). Under the assumption that the reservoir correlations decay exponentially in time, we…
We derive quantum kinetic equations for scalar fields undergoing coherent evolution either in time (coherent particle production) or in space (quantum reflection). Our central finding is that in systems with certain space-time symmetries,…
We consider the correlations and the hydrodynamic description of random walkers with a general finite memory moving on a $d$ dimensional hypercubic lattice. We derive a drift-diffusion equation and identify a memory-dependent critical…
