OverviewThis text is intended to provide a tutorial approach to some of the techniques used to deal with quantum dissipation and irreversibility, with a special focus on their applications to the theory of measurements. The main purpose is to provide a reader without a deep expertise in quantum statistical mechanics with the basic tools to develop a satisfactory solution of quantum paradox.

Table of ContentsThe conventional theory of measurement; towards the statistical interpretation of quantum mechanics; influence of the environment; nonlinear relaxation; chaos and statistical mechanics; chaos and theory of measurement; conclusions; solution of quantum mechanical paradox or discovery of an avenue to a new physics.ReviewsThe new book by Grigolini summarizes the state of the art in the field, but on the other hand it presents also an independent fresh approach to the whole problem. The main conclusion derived by the author is, that classical mechanics cannot be recovered from quantum mechanics by simple approximation. Their relation is much more complicated ... The book is warmly recommended to readers in physics or chemistry and to graduate students but also to researchers working in that field.
