Abstract

The article outlines key topics related to deriving kinetic equations and, in general, to the relationship between the evolution equations governing quantum many-particle systems. The main issues being considered are the mathematical origin of quantum kinetic equations, novel methods for deriving kinetic equations from hierarchies of evolution equations for quantum systems, specifically focusing on kinetics within the framework of the evolution of observables, and the generalization of the quantum kinetic equation specified by non-separable initial states.
