In this text the authors develop quantum dynamics of open systems
for a wide class of irreversible processes starting from the
concept of completely positive semigroups. This unified approach
makes the material easily accessible to non-specialists and
provides an easy access to practical applications. Written for
graduate students, the book presents a wealth of useful examples;
in particular, models of unstable and N-level systems are treated
systematically and in considerable detail including new types of
generated Bloch-equations. The general theory is extensively
summarized from abstract dynamical maps to those obtained by a
reduction of Hamiltonian dynamics under a Markovian approximation.
Various methods of determining semigroup generators and the
corresponding master equations are discussed including
time-dependent and nonlinear generators. Further topics treated are
a generalized H-theorem, quantum detailed balance and return to
equilibrium, discrete quantum Boltzmann equation, nonlinear
Schrodinger equation, spin relaxation by spin waves, entropy
production and its generalization by a measure of
irreversibiblity."
