Time-Reversal Symmetry and Arrow of Time in Quantum Mechanics of Open Systems
It is one of the most important and long-standing issues of physics to derive the irreversibility out of a time-reversal symmetric equation of motion. The present paper considers the breaking of the time-reversal symmetry in open quantum systems and the emergence of an arrow of time. We claim that t...
