open quantum systems in statistical mechanics

Open quantum systems in statistical mechanics refer to physical systems that interact with their environment or surroundings and are described using quantum mechanics. These systems are not isolated but exchange energy, particles, or information with their surroundings, leading to a loss or gain of energy and driving them away from equilibrium. Statistical mechanics provides a framework to study the behavior of these open quantum systems, taking into account the probabilistic nature of quantum phenomena and the interactions with the environment.
