Abstract: The quantum Langevin equation is derived from the Feynman-Veron forward--backward path integral representation for a density matrix of a quantum system in a thermal oscillator bath. We exhibit the mechanism by which the classical, $c$-valued noise in the Feynman-Vernon theory turns into an operator-valued quantum noise fulfilling characteristic commutation relation necessary for the unitarity of the time evolution in the quantum Langevin equation.
