Description

We present a basic introduction to stochastic evolution of classical and quantum finite level systems. We discuss the properties of classical and quantum states and classical and quantum channels. Moreover, we provide the description of Markovian semigroups and discuss the structure of local in time master equations. A short discussion of non-Markovian dynamics is included as well.
