The central physical concepts and mathematical techniques used in the theory of open quantum systems are reviewed. Particular emphasis is laid on the interrelations of apparently different approaches. Starting from the appropriate characterization of the quantum statistical ensembles naturally arising in the description of open quantum systems, the corresponding dynamical evolution equations are derived for the Markovian as well as for the non-Markovian case.

Geometric Decoherence Time in Lindbladian Dynamics
The geometric decoherence time marks the earliest breakdown of the monotone relation between logarithmic negativity and Rényi-1/2 entropy under Lindbladian evolution, serving as a dynamical scale for the onset of decoherence.
