7: Open Quantum Systems

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

This chapter discusses the effects of a weak interaction of a quantum system with its environment. Some part of this material is on the fine line between quantum mechanics and (quantum) statistical physics. Here I will only cover those aspects of the latter field 1 that are of key importance for the major goals of this course, including the discussion of quantum measurements in Chapter 10.
