چکیده
The influence functional from a heat bath consisting of coupled harmonic oscillators of time-dependent frequency and coupling constants is derived. Like its time-independent counterpart, the present influence functional also involves the force-force autocorrelation function of the bath.

Influence functionals with semiclassical propagators in combined forward–backward time
In a recent letter @Chem. Phys. Lett. 291, 101 ~1998!# we presented a semiclassical methodology for calculating influence functionals arising from many-body anharmonic environments in the path integral formulation of quantum dynamics. Taking advantage of the trace operation associated with the unobservable medium, we express the influence functional in terms of a single propagator along a combi...

The nonequilibrium dynamics of coupled quantum oscillators subject to different time dependent quenches are analyzed in the context of the Liouville-von Neumann approach. We consider models of quantum oscillators in interaction that are exactly soluble in the cases of both sudden and smooth quenches. The time evolution of number densities and the final equilibration distribution for the problem...

In this paper we solve for the quantum propagator of a general time dependent system quadratic in both position and momentum, linearly coupled to an infinite bath of harmonic oscillators. We work in the regime where the quantum optical master equation is valid. We map this master equation to a Schroedinger equation on Super-Hilbert space and utilize Lie Algebraic techniques to solve for the dyn...

In this article we consider the resistance of a quantum LC circuit as a heat bath. The heat bath can be modeled by a collection of quantum harmonic oscillators with a continuum of frequencies. By using the minimal coupling method between the circuit and the field describing the environment, the process of energy dissipation and probability transitions between the energy levels of the quantum c...
متن کاملExact master equation and quantum decoherence of two coupled harmonic oscillators in a general environment.
In this paper we derive an exact master equation for two coupled quantum harmonic oscillators interacting via bilinear coupling with a common environment at arbitrary temperature made up of many harmonic oscillators with a general spectral density function. We first show a simple derivation based on the observation that the two harmonic oscillator model can be effectively mapped into that of a ...
