Quantum and classical Fokker-Planck equations for a Gaussian-Markovian noise bath
Abstract
The quantum Fokker-Planck equation for a Gaussian-Markovian bath is deduced by applying a method proposed by Tanimura and Kubo [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 58, 101 (1989)]. The results are expressed in the form of simultaneous differential equations in terms of density operators and can treat strong system-bath interactions where the correlated effects of the noise play an important role. The classical Fokker-Planck equation for a Gaussian-Markovian noise is obtained by performing the Wigner transformation, and its equilibrium state is shown to be the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. The method is convenient for numerical studies. Calculations for quantum-system harmonic oscillators and the double-well potential problems are demonstrated for cases of Gaussian-white noise and Gaussian-Markovian noise.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
