In this work, we study transport currents in excited states. This requires the calculation of particle currents [Formula: see text] to second order in the excitation amplitudes. For that purpose, we take a well-tested microscopic theory of inhomogeneous quantum liquids and extend it to find the mass currents created when atoms scatter off a surface or when excitations evaporate atoms. This is the first theoretical study of transport phenomena in a quantum liquid based on a quantitative microscopic theory.

The historical development of kinetic theory is reviewed with respect to the inclusion of virial corrections. Here the theory of dense gases differs from quantum liquids. While the first one leads to Enskog-type of corrections to the kinetic theory, the latter ones are described by quasiparticle concepts of Landau-type theories. A unifying kinetic theory is envisaged by the nonlocal quantum kinetic theory. Nonequilibrium phenomena are the essential processes which occur in nature. Any evolution is built up of involved causal networks which may render a new state of quality in the course of time evolution. The steady state or equilibrium is rather the exception in nature, if not a theoretical abstraction at all.
