Quantum Brownian motion

Fabián H. Gaioli, Alvarez, Edgardo T. Garcia, Javier Guevara

We study the behavior of a subsystem (harmonic oscillator) in contact with a thermal reservoir (finite set of uncoupled harmonic oscillators). We exactly solve the eigenvalue problem and obtain the temporal evolution of the dynamical variables of interest. We show how the subsystem goes to equilibrium and give quantitative estimates of the Poincaré recurrence times. We study the behavior of the subsystem mean ocuppation number in the limit of a dense bath and compare it with the expected exponential decay law.

Minimal irreversible quantum mechanics. The decay of unstable states

Arbó, Diego G., Castagnino, Mario A., Gaioli, Fabián H. +1 more

Brownian motion is modelled by a harmonic oscillator (Brownian particle) interacting with a continuous set of uncoupled harmonic oscillators. The interaction is linear in the coordinates and the momenta. The model has an analytical solution that is used to study the time evolution of the reduced density operator. It is derived in a closed form, in the one-particle sector of the model. The irreversible behavior of the Brownian particle is described by a reduced density matrix.
