Abstract
Heinz-Dieter Zeh's discovery that the motion of macroscopic objects can not, under typical conditions, follow the Schrödinger equation necessitates a suitably modified dynamics. This unfolded a long-lasting puzzle in the open quantum system context: what is the quantum counterpart of the classical Brownian motion in a gas. Presented is a criticism and an open-end discussion of the quantum linear Boltzmann and quantum Fokker-Planck equations - with constant respect for foundational research.
