The time evolution of correlation functions in statistical systems is described by an exact functional differential equation for the corresponding generating functionals. This allows for a systematic discussion of non-equilibrium physics and the approach to equilibrium without the need of solving the nonlinear microscopic equations of motion or computing the time dependence of the probability distribution explicitly.

  1. Quantum mechanics for classical transport equations

    quant-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Classical probabilistic transport equations are reformulated as quantum systems whose wave function obeys Schrödinger evolution and whose observables include non-commuting operators for statistical quantities.
