Abstract
The development of a theory of open quantum systems has had great impact on how the microscopic world is understood and realising how quantum mechanical behaviour can exploited in applications. The set up of the problem of calculating observables and making predictions about an open quantum system is formally rather simple, as shown in Sects. 2.1.1.1 and 2.1.1.2. The mathematical concepts required to write down the exact expressions one must evaluate to solve arbitrary problems are basic; using elementary tools of linear algebra, calculus, and probability theory, the closed form equations that describe arbitrary open quantum systems can be derived.
