The 1995 observation of Bose–Einstein condensation in dilute atomic vapours spawned the field of ultracold, degenerate quantum gases. Unprecedented developments in experimental design and precision control have led to quantum gases becoming the preferred playground for designer quantum many-body systems.

This self-contained volume provides a broad overview of the principal theoretical techniques applied to non-equilibrium and finite temperature quantum gases. Covering Bose–Einstein condensates, degenerate Fermi gases, and the more recently realised exciton–polariton condensates, it fills a gap by linking between different methods with origins in condensed matter physics, quantum field theory, quantum optics, atomic physics, and statistical mechanics. Thematically organised chapters on different methodologies, contributed by key researchers using a unified notation, provide the first integrated view of the relative merits of individual approaches, aided by pertinent introductory chapters and the guidance of editorial notes.

Both graduate students and established researchers wishing to understand the state of the art will greatly benefit from this comprehensive and up-to-date review of non-equilibrium and finite temperature techniques in the exciting and expanding field of quantum gases and liquids.

Contents:

  • Introductory Material:

    • Quantum Gases: The Background
    • Quantum Gases: Experimental Considerations
    • Quantum Gases: Background Key Theoretical Notions
  • Ultracold Bosonic Gases: Theoretical Modelling:

    • Kinetic and Many-Body Approaches
    • Classical-Field, Stochastic and Field-Theoretic Approaches
    • Comparison of Common Theories
  • Overview of Related Quantum-Degenerate Systems:

    • Nearly Integrable One-Dimensional Systems
    • Optical Lattice Geometries
    • Liquid Helium
    • Degenerate Fermi Gases
    • Exciton/Polariton Condensation

Readership: Aimed at graduate level students and for researchers.
Key Features:

  • This book provides a unique and editorially linked, impartial unified presentation of the leading theoretical models for quantum gases far from equilibrium, and at finite temperatures
  • In addition to focusing on bosonic gases, this book also makes connections to related quantum gases and fluids, such as fermionic gases, atoms in optical lattices, as well as exciton and polariton condensates
  • Introductory chapters make this book an essential, accessible resource to both graduate students and early researchers as well as established scientists, with individual chapters written and edited by prominent researchers in the field
