- Abstract: We propose a Langevin equation to describe the quantum Brownian motion of
bounded particles based on a distinctive formulation concerning both the
fluctuation and dissipation forces. The fluctuation force is similar to that
employed in the classical case. It is a white noise with a variance
proportional to the temperature. The dissipation force is not restrict to be
proportional to the velocity and is determined in a way as to guarantee that
the stationary state is given by a density operator of the Gibbs canonical
type. To this end we derived an equation that gives the time evolution of the
density operator, which turns out to be a quantum Fokker-Planck-Kramers
equation. The approach is applied to the harmonic oscillator in which case the
dissipation force is found to be non Hermitian and proportional to the velocity
and position.
