Abstract
The solution is obtained to the quantum mechanical linearly damped harmonic oscillator subjected to a time dependent driving force. This solution allows the calculation of interesting quantum quantities such as the Green’s function and the transition amplitudes between harmonic oscillator states. The specific results for a harmonic driving force are given.

The quantum damped driven harmonic oscillator

TL;DR: Using the Caldirola-Kanai Hamiltonian with an external driving force for the damped driven harmonic oscillator as the quantum dissipative system, the authors have exactly evaluated the propagator, wave function, uncertainty relation and the transition amplitudes by the Feynman path integral method as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized von Neumann equation describing dissipative time evolution of quantum systems is applied to a damped and driven harmonic oscillator, and the nonlinear operator equation is solved and from this solution the behaviour of the mean value (x) is extracted, including both amplitude and phaseshift relative to the driving force.
