This paper is intended to provide the reader with a review of the authors’ latest results dealing with the modeling of quantum dissipation/diffusion effects at the level of Schrödinger systems, in connection with the corresponding phase space and fluid formulations of such kind of phenomena, especially in what concerns the role of the Fokker–Planck mechanism in the description of open quantum systems and the macroscopic dynamics associated with some viscous hydrodynamic models of Euler and Navier–Stokes type.
