Abstract
Starting from a field theoretical representation of chemical reactions, the rate equation is developed in terms of the quantum mechanical Green's functions. The equation is valid for non‐Markowian behavior and the approximations that are necessary in order to obtain the conventional (Markowian) rate equation are investigated. The effect of finite collision times is also discussed.Keywords
