Non-Exponential Decay for Polaron Model

Quantum Physics 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

A model of particle interacting with quantum field is considered. The model includes as particular cases the polaron model and non-relativistic quantum electrodynamics. We compute matrix elements of the evolution operator in the stochastic approximation and show that depending on the state of the particle one can get the non-exponential decay with the rate t^{-3/2}. In the process of computation a new algebra of commutational relations that can be considered as an operator deformation of quantum Boltzmann commutation relations is used.
