We can explain these phenomena by saying that the coffee interacts with the surrounding environment in such a way that its state changes depending on the environment surrounding it. Changing the environment also changes the rate at which the coffee's state changes, and minimizing the interaction between the coffee and the environment allows it to change its state much more slowly, giving us more time to enjoy that hot cup of coffee. ... In brief, an open quantum system is a quantum system that interacts with its environment, with this interaction between the system and the environment dri...
