Quantum kinetic theory with nonlocal coherence
Matti Herranen
In this thesis we develop a novel approximation scheme (eQPA), where the effects of nonlocal coherence are included in the kinetic approach to nonequilibrium quantum dynamics. The…

Quantum kinetic theory for fermions in temporally varying backrounds
Matti Herranen, Kimmo Kainulainen, Pyry Matti Rahkila
We derive quantum kinetic equations for fermions in a homogeneous time-dependent background in presence of decohering collisions, by use of the Schwinger-Keldysh CTP-formalism. The…

Towards a kinetic theory for fermions with quantum coherence
Matti Herranen, Kimmo Kainulainen, Pyry Matti Rahkila
A new density matrix and corresponding quantum kinetic equations are introduced for fermions undergoing coherent evolution either in time (coherent particle production) or in space…
