Quantum dynamics provides the arguably most fundamental example of hybrid dynamics: As long as no measurement takes place, the system state is governed by the Schr\"odinger-Liouville differential equation, which is however interrupted and…

A new quantum mechanical wave equation describing a particle with frictional forces is derived. It depends on a parameter $\alpha$ whose range is determined by the coefficient of friction $\gamma$, that is, $0 \leq \alpha \leq \gamma$. For…
