1. The Quantum and the Environment
... almost impossible to completely isolate a quantum system from its surrounding environment. Furthermore, open quantum systems are of paramount importance in quantum information, quantum computing, and cavity optomechanics, among other fields, because interaction between a quantum system and the surrounding environment causes decoherence in the quantum system, and a consequent loss of the system's quantum properties, thus rendering the system unusable in quantum computing or quantum ... are absolutely necessary to describe the dynamics of the system, which is done by treating the system p...
