Wigner function for damped systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Both classical and quantum damped systems give rise to complex spectra and corresponding resonant states. We investigate how resonant states, which do not belong to the Hilbert space, fit the phase space formulation of quantum mechanics. It turns out that one may construct out of a pair of resonant states an analog of the stationary Wigner function.

Wigner Distribution Function and Entropy of the Damped Harmonic Oscillator within the Theory of Open Quantum Systems
The harmonic oscillator with dissipation is studied within the framework of the Lindblad theory for open quantum systems. By using the Wang-Uhlenbeck method, the Fokker-Planck equation, obtained from the master equation for the density operator, is solved for the Wigner distribution function, subject to either the Gaussian type or the δ-function type of initial conditions. The obtained Wigner f...
متن کاملDamped quantum harmonic oscillator : density operator and related quantities
A closed expression for the density operator of the damped harmonic oscillator is extracted from the master equation based on the Lindblad theory for open quantum systems. The entropy and effective temperature of the system are subsequently calculated and their temporal behaviour is surveyed by showing how these quantities relax to their equilibrium values. The entropy for a state characterized...
متن کاملOn Wigner functions and a damped star product in dissipative phase-space quantum mechanics
Dito and Turrubiates recently introduced an interesting model of the dissipative quantum mechanics of a damped harmonic oscillator in phase space. Its key ingredient is a non-Hermitian deformation of the Moyal star product with the damping constant as deformation parameter. We compare the Dito-Turrubiates scheme with phase-space quantum mechanics (or deformation quantization) based on other sta...

The damping of the harmonic oscillator is studied in the framework of the Lindblad theory for open quantum systems. A generalization of the fundamental constraints on quantum mechanical diffusion coefficients which appear in the master equation for the damped quantum oscillator is presented; the Schrödinger, Heisenberg and Weyl-Wigner-Moyal representations of the Lindblad equation are given exp...

Time evolution of the expectation values of various dynamical operators of the harmonic oscillator with dissipation is analitically obtained within the framework of the Lindblad theory for open quantum systems. We deduce the density matrix of the damped harmonic oscillator from the solution of the Fokker-Planck equation for the coherent state representation, obtained from the master equation fo...
