Abstract: Quantum information is encoded in density operators and, in general, its evolution is governed by the von Neumann-Lindblad equation. The latter extends the von Neumann equation, which, in turn, generalizes the Schrödinger equation of quantum mechanics. In this talk I will explain how the von Neumann and von Neumann-Lindblad equations arise and present some recent results. I will start with basic definitions and I will not assume any prior knowledge of quantum mechanics, quantum statistics or quantum information theory.
