Perturbative method for generalized spectral decompositions

Laura, Roberto, Castagnino, Mario, R. Id Betán

Imposing analytic properties to states and observables we construct a perturbative method to obtain a generalized biorthogonal system of eigenvalues and eigenvectors for quantum unstable systems. A decay process can be described using this generalized spectral decomposition, and the final generalized state is obtained.

Decay processes in an open Hamiltonian system

J. C. Nickel, L. E. Reichl

A complex spectral decomposition is developed for the survival probability and spectral density of a simple metastable state in an open quantum system. The time interval before exponential decay occurs is shown to be dominated by the short-lived quasibound states of the system.
