Abstract
We study the statistical mechanics of classical and quantum systems in non-equilibrium steady states. Emphasis is placed on systems in strong thermal gradients. Various measures and functional forms of observables are presented. The quantum problem is set up using random matrix techniques, which allows for the construction of the master equation. Special solutions are discussed.
