Course description and aims
Nonequilibrium quantum field theory is a theory dealing with the dynamics of quantum many body systems such as cold atomic systems at low temperature and the quark-gluon plasma phase at extremely high temperature. I will give an introductory lecture on the nonequilibrium field theory. I will also introduce recent applications.
Student learning outcomes
The master course students are expected to fully understand the contents at the standard level.
The students are expected to solve the standard problems provided by the lecturer.
Keywords
nonequilibrium, symmetry, quantum anomaly
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
The lecture is given in a form of intense course in Japanese.
