Introduction to the Time Evolution of Open Quantum Systems
by Angel Rivas, Susana F. Huelga
Publisher: arXiv 2011
Number of pages: 101
Description:
We revise fundamental concepts in the dynamics of open quantum systems in the light of modern developments in the field. Our aim is to present a unified approach to the quantum evolution of open systems that incorporates the concepts and methods traditionally employed by different communities.

Quantum Fluctuationsby Edward Nelson - Princeton University Press
This book deals with the kinematics of diffusion processes. The dynamical equations are derived from a variational principle, and interference, the asymptotics of free motion, bound states, statistics, and spin are described in classical terms.

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.
