The Markov approximation revisited: Inconsistency of the standard quantum Brownian motion model

Rocco, A, Grigolini, P

We revisit the Markov approximation necessary to derive ordinary Brownian motion from a model widely adopted in literature for this specific purpose. We show that this leads to internal inconsistencies, thereby implying that further search for a more satisfactory model is required.

Heisenberg-Langevin versus quantum master equation

D. Boyanovsky, David Jasnow

The reliability of the Born and Markov approximations is studied within the framework of quantum Brownian motion described by a mechanical oscillator coupled to a bath of oscillators in thermal equilibrium. It is found that the conditions for the validity of the Born approximation with or without the Markov approximation are more stringent than the usual condition with a weak coupling.
