Quantization of motion in a velocity-dependent field: The v2 case

F. Negro, Angelo Tartaglia

The case of the quantum unidimensional motion of a point particle subject to a viscous force proportional to the square of the speed of the particle is treated. Once a suitable Lagrangian has been chosen, the canonical quantization procedure is applied leading to a Schr\"odinger equation for quadratic friction and an arbitrary potential. The cases of an exponentially decreasing potential plus a linearly increasing term is explicitly solved.

Phase space Schrödinger equation and quadratic friction

H. Dessano, G. X. A. Petronilo, R. G. G. Amorim +1 more

A general Lagrangian for a point particle that moves across a viscous field quadratically dependent on the velocity is found. Afterward, the system is quantized via the Weyl quantization rule, and an explicit expression for the wave function in phase space is found.

Spectroscopic signatures of quantum friction

Juliane Klatt, Robert G. Bennett, Stefan Yoshi Buhmann

We present a formula for the spectroscopically accessible level shifts and decay rates of an atom moving at an arbitrary angle relative to a surface. Our Markov formulation leads to an intuitive analytic description whereby the shifts and rates are obtained from the coefficients of the Heisenberg equation of motion for the atomic flip operators but with complex Doppler-shifted (velocity-dependent) transition frequencies. Our results conclusively demonstrate that for the limiting case of parallel motion the shifts and rates are quadratic or higher in the atomic velocity. We show that a stronger, linear velocity dependence is exhibited by the rates and shifts for perpendicular motion, thus opening the prospect of experimentally probing the Markovian approach to the phenomenon of quantum friction.
