The density matrix formalism which is widely used in the theory of measurements, quantum computing, quantum description of chemical and biological systems always implies the averaging over all states of the environment. In practice this is impossible because the environment of the system is the complement of this system to the whole Universe and contains infinitely many degrees of freedom. A novel method of construction density matrix which implies the averaging only over the direct environment is proposed. The Hilbert space of state vectors for the hierarchic quantum systems is constructed.

General relationship among the density matrix formalism, the double-space formulation and thermo field dynamics is discussed in non-equilibrium dissipative quantum systems. The concept of weakly equivalent operators in the double space formulation is introduced to review many well-known results and it is shown to be useful in mapping between the density matrix formalism and the double space formulation. A new non-equilibrium thermo field dynamics is formulated to discuss dissipative quantum systems. A simple example of damped harmonic oscillators is discussed in the present representation.

Projectile-nucleus capture by a target nucleus at bombarding energies in the vicinity of the Coulomb barrier is treated with the reduced-density-matrix formalism. The effects of dissipation and fluctuations on the capture process are taken self-consistently into account within the quantum model suggested. The excitation functions for the capture in the reactions [Formula: see text]O, [Formula: see text]F, [Formula: see text]Mg, [Formula: see text]Si, [Formula: see text]S, [Formula: see text]Ca, [Formula: see text]Ti, [Formula: see text]Cr [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text]Pb are calculated and compared with the experimental data.
