This second, enlarged edition of the text deals with the phenomena and theory of decoherence and dissipation in quantum mechanics that arise from the interaction with the environment. Applications to numerous phenomenological and microscopic systems are presented, where emphasis is placed on condensed matter and chemical physics.
