Abstract
If the von Neumann equation is modified by time dependent statistical weights, the time rate of entropy, the entropy exchange and production of a Schottky system are derived whose Hamiltonian does not contain the interaction with the system's environment. This interaction is semi-classically described by the quantum theoretical expressions of power- and entropy exchange.
