Quantum field theory is the application of quantum mechanics to systems with
infinitely many degrees of freedom. This textbook presents quantum field
theoretical applications to systems out of equilibrium. It introduces the real-
time approach to non-equilibrium statistical mechanics and the quantum field
theory of non-equilibrium states in general. It offers two ways of learning how
to study non-equilibrium states of many-body systems: the mathematical canonical
way and an easy intuitive way using Feynman diagrams. The latter provides an
easy introduction to the powerful functional methods of field theory, and the
use of Feynman diagrams to study classical stochastic dynamics is considered in
detail. The developed real-time technique is applied to study numerous phenomena
in many-body systems. Complete with numerous exercises to aid self-study, this
textbook is suitable for graduate students in statistical mechanics and
condensed matter physics.
