... and the environment driving the time evolution of the quantum system, just like how the interaction between the coffee and its surrounding environment drives the change in temperature of the coffee. An open quantum system is much more realistic than a closed quantum system, which is isolated from the environment, because it is 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 interactio...
