Information on quantum systems can be obtained only when they are open (or opened) in relation to a certain environment. As a matter of fact, realistic open quantum systems appear in very different shape. We sketch the theoretical…
The article reviews the theory of open quantum system from a perspective of the non-Hermiticity that emerges from the environment with an infinite number of degrees of freedom. The non-Hermiticity produces resonant states with complex…

Interacting and open quantum systems can be formulated in terms of an effective non-Hermitian Hamiltonian (NHH), however, there are important constraints that must be satisfied by the effective action and the associated Green's functions.…
