Anomalous diffusion is discussed in the context of quantum Brownian motion with colored noise. It is shown that earlier results follow simply and directly from the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. The limits on the long-time dependence of…

We derive the exact evolution equation for the probability density function of particle displacements generated by arbitrary Gaussian velocity processes, when neither Markovianity and nor stationarity are assumed. Starting from the…
