Unitary evolution with fluctuations and dissipation

Nuclear Theory 2019-08-09 v2

Abstract

We outline an extension of the classical Langevin equation to a quantum formulation of the treatment of dissipation and fluctuations of all collective degrees of freedom with unitary evolution of a many-fermion system within an extension of the time-dependent density functional theory. We illustrate the method by computing the distribution of fission fragment yields for 258^{258}Fm in a quantum hydrodynamic approach and a typical trajectory with full unrestricted density functional theory augmented with dissipation and fluctuations.
