This book discusses issues associated with the quantum mechanical formulation of
dissipative systems. It begins with an introductory review of phenomenological
damping forces, and the construction of the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian for the
damped motion. It is shown, in addition to these methods, that classical
dissipative forces can also be derived from solvable many-body problems. A
detailed discussion of these derived forces and their dependence on dynamical
variables is also presented. The second part of this book investigates the use
of classical formulation in the quantization of dynamical systems under the
influence of dissipative forces. The results show that, while a satisfactory
solution to the problem cannot be found, different formulations represent
different approximations to the complete solution of two interacting systems.
The third and final part of the book focuses on the problem of dissipation in
interacting quantum mechanical systems, as well as the connection of some of
these models to their classical counterparts. A number of important
applications, such as the theory of heavy-ion scattering and the motion of a
radiating electron, are also discussed.
