Dissipative Systems  

In General > s.a. fluctuations; Kinetic Theory; specific heat.
* Idea: A dissipative system (also called damped system) is one subject to a non-conservative force that dissipates energy.
* Description: As a dynamical system, time evolution is described by a semigroup of transformations, rather than a group, since it is associated with a preferred time direction, and using contact structures; Dissipative processes contract volumes in phase space.

Quantum Dissipative Systems > s.a. modified quantum mechanics [non-Hamiltonian]; quantum systems; spin systems.
* Idea: Phenomena of decoherence and dissipation in quantum mechanics arise from the interaction with the environment.
* And quantum foundations: A deterministic, dissipative classical model is used in a proposal by 't Hooft for obtaining quantum mechanics; > s.a. origin of quantum mechanics.
