Introduction to Two-Particle Irreducible Formalism - Class 1

Dive into the first class of a comprehensive minicourse on open quantum systems, focusing on the introduction to Two-Particle Irreducible (2PI) formalism. Led by Aleksandra Ziolkowska from JGU/Mainz Germany, this 69-minute lecture is part of a series covering fundamentals, collisional models, and path integrals. Explore key concepts and applications of 2PI in the context of open quantum systems, setting the foundation for advanced topics in quantum mechanics. Gain valuable insights from this ICTP-SAIFR organized course, scheduled for July 1-5, 2024, designed to enhance understanding of complex quantum phenomena and their mathematical representations.
