Kinetic theory for scalar fields with nonlocal quantum coherence
Matti Herranen, Kimmo Kainulainen, Pyry Matti Rahkila
We derive quantum kinetic equations for scalar fields undergoing coherent evolution either in time (coherent particle production) or in space (quantum reflection). Our central find…
Kinetic transport theory with quantum coherence
Matti Herranen, Kimmo Kainulainen, Pyry M. Rahkila
We derive transport equations for fermions and bosons in spatially or temporally varying backgrounds with special symmetries, by use of the Schwinger-Keldysh formalism. In a nonint…
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…
