Open systems acquire time-dependent coupling constants through interaction
with an external field or environment. We generalize the Lewis-Riesenfeld i
nvariant theorem to open system of quantum fields after second quantizarion
. The generalized invariants and thereby the quantum evolution are found ex
plicity for time-dependent quadratic fermionic systems. The pair production
of fermions is computed and other physical implications an discussed. (C)
