The four-week period fran May 20 to June 16, 1984 was an intensive
period of advanced study on the foundations and frontiers of
nonequili brium statistical physics (NSP). During the first two
weeks of this period, an advanced-study course on the "Foundations
of NSP" was con ducted in Albuquerque under the sponsorship of the
University of New Mexico Center for High-Technology Materials. This
was followed by a two-week NATO Advanced Study Insti tute on the
"Frontiers of NSP" in Santa Fe under the same directorship. Many
Students attended both meetings. This book comprises proceedings
based on those lectures and covering a broad spectrum of topics in
NSP ranging fran basic problems in quantum measurement theory to
analogies between lasers and Darwinian evolution. The various types
of quantum distribution functions and their uses are treated by
several authors. other tools of NSP, such as Langevin equations,
Fokker-Planck equations, and master equations, are developed and
applied to areas such as laser physics, plasma physics, Brownian
motion, and hydrodynamic instabilities. The properties and
experimental detection of squeezed states and antibunching are
described, as well as experimental tests of the violation of Bell's
inequality. Information theory, mean-field theory, reservoir
theory, entropy maximization, and even a novel nonlinear
generalization of quantum mechanics are used to discuss
nonequilibrium phenanena and the approach toward thermodynamic
equilibrium."
