Journal ArticleDOI
Quantum Brownian motion in a general environment: Exact master equation with nonlocal dissipation and colored noise.
TL;DR: The influence functional path-integral method is used to derive an exact master equation for the quantum Brownian motion of a particle linearly coupled to a general environment at arbitrary temperature and applies it to study certain aspects of the loss of quantum coherence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonequilibrium quantum fields: Closed-time-path effective action, Wigner function, and Boltzmann equation
Esteban Calzetta,Bei-Lok Hu +1 more
TL;DR: This paper treats a system of self-interacting bosons described by λφ4 scalar fields in flat space and adopts the closed-time-path (CTP) functional formalism and uses a two-particle irreducible (2PI) representation for the effective action.
Journal ArticleDOI
Closed-time-path functional formalism in curved spacetime: Application to cosmological back-reaction problems.
Esteban Calzetta,Bei-Lok Hu +1 more
TL;DR: The capability of the closed-time-path formalism of dealing with Feynman, causal, and correlation functions on the same footing makes it a potentially powerful and versatile technique for treating nonequilibrium statistical properties of dynamical systems as in early-Universe quantum processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vibrational Energy Transfer in CO2 Lasers
TL;DR: In this paper, the rate of near-resonant exchange of vibrational energy between CO2 and N2 (ΔE=18 cm−1) has been measured.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conformal energy-momentum tensor in curved spacetime: Adiabatic regularization and renormalization
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the physical energy-momentum tensor through which the geometry of spacetime is influenced by a quantized scalar field with conformal coupling to the metric.
