Quantum theory of electron transport in the Wigner formalism
J. Lin,L. C. Chiu +1 more
TL;DR: A unified theory of electron transport in a phonon bath using the Wigner formalism is presented in this paper, which not only lends itself to a phase space description of the electron transport, but also includes higher-order effects such as degeneracy, collisional broadening, and intracollisional field effect.

IV Radiative Transfer: New Aspects of the Old Theory
Yu. A. Kravtsov,L. A. Apresyan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the new aspects of the radiative transfer theory and explain the statistical-wave foundation of the Radiative Transfer Theory, using plane sources and free wave fields as an illustration.

The quantum radiative transfer equation: quantum damping, Kirchoff's Law, and the approach to equilibrium of photons in a quantum plasma
TL;DR: In this paper, a method based on the theory of quantum damping is presented for deriving a self-consistent but approximate form of the quantum transport for photons interacting with a fully ionized electron plasma.

A derivation of the radiative transfer equation for partially polarized light from quantum electrodynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, a derivation of the transfer equation from the principles of quantum electrodynamics is presented, and its terms are evaluated for a Thomson scattering law for partially polarized light due to induced processes.

Radiative transfer with partial coherence in optically thick plasmas.
TL;DR: A quantum transport model for atomic line radiation in plasmas is developed and analyzed and it is found that the Wigner phase space formulation of QED provides a consistent way to address the wave-particle duality in radiative transfer problems.

On the quantum correction for thermodynamic equilibrium
TL;DR: In this article, the Boltzmann formula for lower temperatures has been developed for a correction term, which can be developed into a power series of h. The formula is developed for this correction by means of a probability function and the result discussed.
