The status of the quantum dissipation-fluctuation relation and Langevin equation
نویسنده
چکیده
I examine the arguments which have been given for a quantum Langevin equation and a quantum fluctuation-dissipation relations. I argue that there is no reliable derivation of these relations beyond the simple (but important) case where all the equations of motion are linear.

Fluctuation Dissipation Relation for a Langevin Model with Multiplicative Noise
A random multiplicative process with additive noise is described by a Langevin equation. We show that the fluctuation-dissipation relation is satisfied in the Langevin model, if the noise strength is not so strong. keywords fluctuation-dissipation theorem, Langevin equation, multiplicative noise, Levy flight.
متن کاملA Fluctuation-Dissipation Relation for Semiclassical Cosmology
Using the concept of open systems where the classical geometry is treated as the system and the quantum matter field as the environment, we derive a fluctuationdissipation theorem for semiclassical cosmology. This theorem which exists under very general conditions for dissipations in the dynamics of the system, and the noise and fluctuations in the environment, can be traced to the formal mathe...
متن کاملConformation dependent damping and generalization of fluctuation-dissipation relation
Abstract Damping on an object generally depends on its conformation (shape size etc.). We consider the Langevin dynamics of a model system with a conformation dependent damping and generalize the fluctuation dissipation relation to fit in such a situation. We derive equilibrium distribution function for such a case which converges to the standard Boltzmann form at the limit of uniform damping. ...
متن کاملA Stochastic Mean-Field Approach For Nuclear Dynamics
We propose a microscopic stochastic approach to improve description of nuclear dynamics beyond the mean-field approximation at low energies. It is shown that, for small amplitude fluctuations, the proposed model gives a result for the dispersion of a one-body observable that is identical to the result obtained previously through a variational approach. Furthermore, by projecting the proposed st...
متن کاملClassical and quantum dissipation in non homogeneous environments
We generalize the oscillator model of a particle interacting with a thermal reservoir by introducing arbitrary nonlinear couplings in the particle coordinates. The equilibrium positions of the heat bath oscillators are promoted to space-time functions, which are shown to represent a modulation of the internal noise by the external forces. The model thus provides a description of classical and q...
