Deformation quantization of linear dissipative systems

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: A simple pseudo-Hamiltonian formulation is proposed for the linear inhomogeneous systems of ODEs. In contrast to the usual Hamiltonian mechanics, our approach is based on the use of non-stationary Poisson brackets, i.e. corresponding Poisson tensor is allowed to explicitly depend on time. Starting from this pseudo-Hamiltonian formulation we develop a consistent deformation quantization procedure involving a non-stationary star-product ∗t and an ``extended operator of time derivative Dt=partialt+..., differentiating the astt-product. As in the usual case, the astt-algebra of physical observables is shown to admit an essentially unique (time dependent) trace functional mathrmTrt. Using these ingredients we construct a complete and fully consistent quantum-mechanical description for any linear dynamical system with or without dissipation. The general quantization method is exemplified by the models of damped oscillator and radiating point charge.
