DESCRIPTION:We derive quantum kinetic theory in strongly coupled media usi
 ng holography.  It is known how we can derive quantum kinetic theory from\
 nnon-equilibrium correlation functions. All non-equilibrium Green's functi
 ons can be written as combinations of the spectral function (which carries
  information about density of states) and the statistical function (which 
 carries information about how different energy levels are occupied or shou
 ld be weighted) in a given state. We show how these can be obtained hologr
 aphically from studying propagation of fields systematically in black hole
  backgrounds perturbed by hydrodynamic/non-hydrodynamic quasi-normal modes
 . As expected from field theory\, we get an universal prescription. We the
 n show how this reproduces non-equilibrium states in holographic non-Fermi
  liquids and are relevant for time-resolved ARPES. We further point out ap
 plications in understanding production\, transport and freeze-out of hadro
 ns in strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma at RHIC\, particularly from the 
 point of view of constructing better experimental observables for construc
 ting the space-time expansion of the quark-gluon plasma.\n\nhttp://indico.
