Mori-Zwanzig Equations With Time-Dependent Liouvillian

Chemical Physics 2007-09-11 v2 Atomic Physics

Abstract

We extend the Mori-Zwanzig equations to the case where the Liouvillian is time-dependent by way of a Dyson identity due to Holian and Evans. This extension makes it possible to treat, for example, more general cases of continuous-wave (cw) or pulsed irradiation in NMR and coherent optics. The formalism immediately allows for reference frame changes and approximations based on coherent averaging.
