Abstract
The properties of a quantum dissipative scalar field is analyzed by Caldeira-Leggett model in strong-coupling regime. The Lagrangian of the total system is canonically quantized and the full Hamiltonian is diagonalized using Fano technique. A mode-dependent probability density is introduced. The steady state energy and correlation functions at finite temperature are calculated in terms of the probability density.
