Quantum Dissipative Systems
by F. Guinea, E. Bascones, M.J. Calderon
1998
Number of pages: 81
Description:
One of the most interesting topic of quantum mechanics is the study of open quantum systems. By it, we mean a simple quantum system, described by one or a few degrees of freedom, interacting with a background characterized by a continuum of excitations.

Time in Quantum Mechanicsby Curt A. Moyer - arXiv
The failure of conventional quantum theory to recognize time as an observable and to admit time operators is addressed. We emphasize the role of the Hamiltonian as the generator of translations in time to construct time states.
