Quantum gases : finite temperatures and non-equilibrium dynamics / edited by Nick Proukakis ... [et al.]. - London : Singapore ; Hackensack, NJ : Imperial College Press ; Distributed by World Scientific, c2013. - xxiv, 554 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. - Cold atoms ; v. 1 . - Cold atoms ; v. 1. .

Includes bibliographical references (p. 461-537) and indexes.

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 --
