Abstract
The classical many-body problem is reformulated as a bosonic quantum field theory. Quantum field operators evolve unitarily in the Heisenberg picture so that a quantum Vlasov equation is satisfied as an operator identity. The formalism enables the direct transfer of techniques from quantum information and quantum many-body field theory to classical nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. Implications for quantum algorithms are discussed.
