Quantum Dissipation versus Classical Dissipation for Generalized Brownian Motion

arXiv:chao-dyn/9704016 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.78.2878

Abstract

We try to clarify what are the genuine quantal effects that are associated with generalized Brownian Motion (BM). All the quantal effects that are associated with the Zwanzig-Feynman-Vernon-Caldeira-Leggett model are (formally) a solution of the classical Langevin equation. Non-stochastic, genuine quantum mechanical effects, are found for a model that takes into account either the disordered or the chaotic nature of some environment.
