The idea of editing the present volume in the Lecture Notes in Physics series arosewhileorganizingthe“Conference on Irreversible Quantum Dynamics ”that took place at The Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics, Trieste, Italy, from July 29 to August 2, 2002. The aim of the Conference was to bring together different groups of - searchers whose interests and pursuits involve irreversibility and time asymmetry in quantum mechanics. The Conference promoted open and in-depth exchanges of different points of view, concerning both the content and character of qu- tum irreversibility and the methodologies used to study it. The following main themes were addressed: • Theoretical Aspects of Quantum Irreversible Dynamics • Open Quantum Systems and Applications • Foundational Aspects of Irreversible Quantum Dynamics • Asymmetric Time Evolution and Resonances Eachthemewasreviewedbyanexpertinthe field,accompaniedbymorespecific, research-like shorter talks. The whole topic of quantum irreversibility in all its manifold aspects has always raised a lot of interest, starting with the description of unstable systems in quantum mechanics and the issue of quantum measurement. Further, in - cent years a boost of activity concerning noise, dissipation and open systems has been prompted by the fast developing field of quantum communication and information theory. These considerations motivated the editors to put together a volume that tries to summarize the present day status of the research in the field, with the aim of providing the reader with an accessible and exhaustive introduction to it.
