Quantum Open Quantum Systems textbooks with exercises?

Click For Summary
The discussion highlights the need for a textbook on open quantum systems that includes exercises for self-assessment. While "The Theory of Open Quantum Systems" by Breuer and Petruccione is recognized as a standard reference, it is noted for lacking exercises. A recommended alternative is "Open Quantum Systems," edited by Breuer, Petruccione, and Vacchini, which offers a thorough introduction to the subject along with exercises at the end of each chapter, making it suitable for those looking to reinforce their understanding.

The standard reference for open quantum systems is The Theory of Open Quantum Systems by Breuer and Petruccione, which seems well-written but it lacks exercises, as do all the other textbooks I googled. Does someone have a recommendation for a textbook on open quantum systems with problems to check my understanding?

One possible textbook with exercises is Open Quantum Systems, edited by H.-P. Breuer, F. Petruccione, and B. Vacchini. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to open quantum systems and their dynamics, and it includes exercises at the end of each chapter.
 
Many years ago, as the internet was coming of age, I burned over 500 pounds of technical manuals. I realized I can look things up on the internet faster than I can find something in a technical manual. And just about anything I might need could be found online. But letting go of my several shelves worth of college text and other science books is another matter. I can't bring myself to get rid of them but there is very little if anything I can't find online now. Books are heavy and a pain...
