Starting from first principles, this book introduces the
fundamental concepts and methods of dissipative quantum mechanics
and explores related phenomena in condensed matter systems. Major
experimental achievements in cooperation with theoretical advances
have brightened the field and brought it to the attention of the
general community in natural sciences. Nowadays, working knowledge
of dissipative quantum mechanics is an essential tool for many
physicists. This book - originally published in 1990 and
republished in 1999 and and 2008 as enlarged second and third
editions - delves significantly deeper than ever before into the
fundamental concepts, methods and applications of quantum
dissipative systems.This fourth edition provides a self-contained
and updated account of the quantum mechanics of open systems and
offers important new material including the most recent
developments. The subject matter has been expanded by about fifteen
percent. Many chapters have been completely rewritten to better
cater to both the needs of newcomers to the field and the requests
of the advanced readership. Two chapters have been added that
account for recent progress in the field. This book should be
accessible to all graduate students in physics. Researchers will
find this a rich and stimulating source.
