Description
Quantum kinetic theory, arising as a semiclassical limit of quantum field theory, is an effective microscopic description applicable to a wide variety of systems.
I present an introduction to the topic and discuss important developments, such as the application of quantum kinetic theory to systems of particles with nonvanishing spin, leading to intriguing transport phenomena relevant to the study of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP).
In particular, emphasis is put on the connection of a quantum-kinetic approach to polarization-related phenomena in heavy-ion collisions.
