Abstract
These notes contain an extended version of lectures given at the “Summer School on Large Coulomb Systems” in Nordfjordeid, Norway, in august 2003. They furnish a short introduction to some of the most basic aspects of the theory of quantum systems that have a dynamics generated by an equation of the form
