We study the dynamics of ultracold Fermi gases far from thermal equilibrium. We employ a functional-integral approach based on the Schwinger-Keldysh closed time path integral to derive the two-particle irreducible (2PI) effective action. From this, the two-point correlation functions are determined self-consistently. The action is expanded in inverse powers of N, where N is the number of atomic hyperfine states. The dynamic equations are derived in next-to-leading order of this expansion. This approach reaches far beyond mean-field theory and includes quantum statistical aspects of equilibration dynamics. This formalism is especially suited to describe far-from-equilibrium dynamics in a Kondo lattice of ultracold fermionic alkaline-earth atoms where N can be as large as 10.
