Open quantum system of two coupled harmonic oscillators for application in deep inelastic heavy ion collisions
A. Sãndulescu, Horia Scutaru, W. Scheid · Journal of Physics A Mathematical and General · 1987
On the basis of the theory of Lindblad (1976) for open quantum systems the author derives master equations for a system consisting of two harmonic oscillators. The time dependence of expectation values, Wigner function and Weyl operator are obtained and discussed. The chosen system can be applied for the description of the charge and mass asymmetry degrees of freedom in deep inelastic collisions in nuclear physics.
