This chapter gives two examples of application of the CS method to problems in non-equilibrium statistical physics. It describes the evolution toward thermodynamic equilibrium for quantum systems with equidistant energy spectra (the quantum oscillator and a spinning particle in a magnetic field) set in thermostat.
