Quantum dynamics of A damped harmonic oscillator with velocity-dependent coupling
The quantum theory of a damped harmonic oscillator has been continuously studied since 1939. For quantization, an oscillation oscillator usually uses a reservoir that includes a number of finite and discrete oscillators. However, a set of discrete oscillators is unable to study the quantum theory of an Ohmic damping (damping proportional to velocity). In this research, a continuous set of harmonic oscillators has been used to investigate Ohmic damping. Using a continuum reservoir instead of a discrete reservoir will enrich the results of the dynamic system. The results of this research can be used to study nano-mechanical systems and opto-mechanical systems.
