In approximate dynamical equations, inhomogenous classical (mean) gauge and Higgs elds are coupled to
quantized fermions. The equations are solved numerically on a spacetime lattice. The fermions appear to equili-
brate according to the Fermi-Dirac distribution with time-dependent temperature and chemical potential.
1. The real-time path integral for quantum
elds is very diÆcult to evaluate numerically and
approximations need to be made before giving
