Far-from-equilibrium quantum many-body dynamics

Understand

The theory of real-time quantum many-body dynamics as put forward in Ref.

• [arXiv:0710.4627] is evaluated in detail.
• The formulation is based on a generating functional of correlation functions where the Keldysh contour is closed at a given time.
• Extending the Keldysh contour from this time to a later time leads to a dynamic flow of the generating functional.
