The Kadanoff-Baym equations (KBE) are usually derived under the assumption of the weakening of initial correlations (Bogolyubov's condition) and, therefore, fail to correctly describe the short time behavior. We demonstrate that this…

Gradient expansions in quantum transport equations of a Kadanoff-Baym form have been reexamined. We have realized that in a consistent approach the expansion should be performed also inside of the self-energy in the scattering integrals of…
Real-time Green's function simulations of molecular junctions (open quantum systems) are typically performed by solving the Kadanoff-Baym equations (KBE). The KBE, however, impose a serious limitation on the maximum propagation time due to…
We present in detail a method we recently introduced (PRL. 103, 176404 (2009)) to describe finite systems in and out of equilibrium, where the evolution in time is performed via the Kadanoff-Baym Equations (KBE) within Many-Body…
Because of IR (pinch) singularities a resummation is necessary in non-equilibrium field theories, that can be performed by using Kadanoff--Baym equations. Taking Landau prescription correctly into account, Kadanoff--Baym equations reduce to…
