Exact solution for a non-Markovian dissipative quantum dynamics

Quantum Physics 2015-06-04 v1

Abstract

We provide the exact analytic solution of the stochastic Schr\"odinger equation describing an harmonic oscillator interacting with a non-Markovian and dissipative environment. This result represents an arrival point in the study of non-Markovian dynamics via stochastic differential equations. It is also one of the few exactly solvable models, for infinite dimensional systems. We compute the Green's function; in the case of a free particle, and with an exponentially correlated noise, we discuss the evolution of Gaussian wave functions.
