Open Systems  

In General > s.a. [system theory]; quantum systems and composite systems; modified quantum mechanics [non-Hamiltonian].
* Idea: Originally, one that exchanges energy with a bath; Now, one that exchanges information with an environment, which can lead to the decoherence of a quantum state.
@ References: Li PRP(86).

Quantum Open Systems > s.a. deformation quantization; path integrals.
* Idea: Usually described by mixed states of the type (t) = trbath |whole whole|, and linear quantum state diffusion (LQSD) stochastic Schrödinger equations.
