This book provides a unique, self-contained introduction to nonequilibrium many-body theory. Starting with basic quantum mechanics, the authors introduce the equilibrium and nonequilibrium Green's function formalisms within a unified framework called the contour formalism. The physical content of the contour Green's functions and the diagrammatic expansions are explained with a focus on the time-dependent aspect. Every result is derived step-by-step, critically discussed and then applied to different physical systems, ranging from molecules and nanostructures to metals and insulators. With an abundance of illustrative examples, this accessible book is ideal for graduate students and researchers who are interested in excited state properties of matter and nonequilibrium physics. 606 $aGreen's functions 606 $aMany-body problem 606 $aQuantum theory$xMathematics 615 0$aGreen's functions. 615 0$aMany-body problem. 615 0$aQuantum theory$xMathematics. 676 $a530.1/5353 700 $aStefanucci$b Gianluca$f1973-$0520733 702 $aLeeuwen$b Robert van 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464663903321 996 $aNonequilibrium many-body theory of quantum systems$92464131 997 $aUNINA
