The nonlocal kinetic equation unifies the achievements of the transport in dense quantum gases with the Landau theory of quasiclassical transport in Fermi systems. Large cancellations in the off-shell motion appear which are hidden usually in non-Markovian behaviors [1]. The remaining corrections are expressed in terms of shifts in space and time that characterize the non-locality of the scattering process [2]. In this way quantum transport is possible to recast into a quasi-classical picture [3]. The balance equations for the density, momentum, energy and entropy include besides quasiparticle also the correlated two-particle contributions beyond the Landau theory [4]. The medium effects on binary collisions are shown to mediate the latent heat, i.e., an energy conversion between correlation and thermal energy. For Maxwellian particles a sign change of the latent heat is reported at a universal ratio of scattering length to the thermal De Broglie wavelength. This is interpreted as a change from correlational heating to cooling [5]. [1] Ann. Phys. 294 (2001) 135, [2] Phys. Rev.
