Description
Summary:	Over the last decade new experimental tools and theoretical concepts are providing new insights into collective nonequilibrium behaviour of quantum systems. On the solid state front, high intensity short-timepulses and fast (femtosecond) probes allow solids to be put into highly excited states and probed before relaxation and dissipation occur. Experimental developments are matched by progress in theoretical techniques ranging from exact solutions of strongly interacting nonequilibrium models to newapproaches to nonequilibrium numerics. The summer school held at the Les Houches School of Physics as its XCIX session was designed to summarise this progress, lay out the open questions and define directions for future work. This books collects the lecture notes of the main courses given in this summer school.
