Abstract
In the previous chapter we reviewed a number of fundamental concepts and elements needed to build a satisfactory description of open quantum systems. We are now in position to properly focus on the dynamical evolution of open quantum systems and its main properties. In the framework of open quantum systems the interaction of a system with its surroundings induces a noise affecting the evolution of the system of interest. This noise appears as a result of neglecting or averaging over the complete isolated evolution of system plus environment, which allows us to obtain an approximate effective description of the open system dynamics which is mathematically tractable.
