This book by Gianluca Stefanucci and Robert van Leeuwen is a comprehensive textbook on NEGF, starting from the basics and introducing material in a logical step-by-step manner, bringing the reader to the latest developments in the field and giving them the knowledge to undertake independent research. This second edition of the book is greatly improved and will be very useful to any student or researcher as a comprehensive guide to NEGF.'

With entirely new chapters and updated example problems, the second edition of this popular text continues to provide an ideal introduction to nonequilibrium many-body quantum systems and ultrafast phenomena in modern science. Retaining the unique and self-contained style of the original, this new edition has been thoroughly revised to address interacting systems of fermions and bosons, simplified many-body approaches like the GKBA, the Bloch equations and the Boltzmann equations and the connection between Green's functions and newly developed time-resolved spectroscopy techniques. Small gaps in the theory have been filled, and frequently overlooked subtleties have been systematically highlighted and clarified. With an abundance of illustrative examples, insightful discussions and modern applications, this book remains the definitive guide for students and researchers alike.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface to the Second Edition\u003cbr\u003e Preface to the First Edition\u003cbr\u003e List of abbreviations and acronyms\u003cbr\u003e Fundamental constants and basic relations\u003cbr\u003e 1.
