Foundations and applications of quantum kinetic theory

Many novel quantum phenomena emerge in non-equilibrium relativistic quantum mat-ter under extreme conditions such as strong magnetic fields and rotations. The quantum kinetic theory based on Wigner functions in quantum field theory provides a powerful and effective microscopic description of these quantum phenomena. In this article we review some of recent advances in the quantum kinetic theory and its applications in describing these quantum phenomena. (c) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
