The Quantum Statistical Mechanical Theory of Transport Processes %K Boltzmann equation %K Reduced distribution function %K Wigner function %R 10.30492/ijcce.1993.10396 %X A new derivation of the quantum Boltzmann transport equation for the Fermion system from the quantum time evolution equation for the wigner distribution function is presented. The method exhibits the origin of the time - irreversibility of the Boltzmann equation. In the present work, the spin dependent and indistinguishibility of particles are also considered. %U https://ijcce.ac.ir/article_10396_a2189fd3a8182aa61e74b839ff276969.pdf
