This set of tutorial reviews is dedicated to all aspects of irreversibility and time asymmetry in quantum mechanics. The main themes addressed are:
theoretical aspects of quantum irreversible dynamics
open quantum systems and applications
foundational aspects of irreversible quantum dynamics
asymmetric time evolution and resonances
This volume will benefit graduate students and researchers looking for a readable account of the current status of the field. It is also suited for lecturers looking for advanced material for their courses and seminars.
