Abstract
Both quantum information features and irreversible quantum evolution of the models arising in physical systems in one-particle approximation are discussed. It is shown that the calculation of the reduced density matrix and entanglement analysis are considerably simplified in this case. The irreversible quantum evolution described by Gorini--Kossakowski--Sudarshan--Lindblad equations in the one-particle approximation could be defined by a solution of a Shroedinger equation with a dissipative generator. It simplifies the solution of the initial equation on the one side and gives a physical interpretation of such a Shroedinger equation with non-Hermitian Hamiltonian on the other side.
