Abstract
We study a system of two coupled oscillators (the oscillator) each of the oscillators linearly interacts with its own heat bath consisting of a set of independent harmonic oscillators (the oscillators). The initial state of the oscillator is taken to be coherent while the oscillators are in thermal states. We analyze the time-dependent state of the oscillator which is a two-mode Gaussian state. By making use of Simon's separability criterion we show that this state is separable for all times. We consider the equilibrium state of the oscillator in detail and calculate its Wigner function.
