The Markov approximation revisited: Inconsistency of the standard quantum Brownian motion model
Rocco, A, Grigolini, P · CERN Document Server (European Organization for Nuclear Research) · 1999
We revisit the Markov approximation necessary to derive ordinary Brownian motion from a model widely adopted in literature for this specific purpose. We show that this leads to internal inconsistencies, thereby implying that further search for a more satisfactory model is required.
