Infinite-Mode Squeezed Coherent States and Non-Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics (Phase-Space-Picture Approach)
Leehwa Yeh · University of North Texas Digital Library (University of North Texas) · 1992
The phase-space-picture approach to quantum non-equilibrium statistical mechanics via the characteristic function of infinite-mode squeezed coherent states is introduced. We use quantum Brownian motion as an example to show how this approach provides an interesting geometrical interpretation of quantum non-equilibrium phenomena.
