| Description | Journal: Journal of Physics A: General Physics The model of a quantum damped oscillator based on the Caldirola-Kanai equation is investigated by exploiting its coherent state basis. It is shown how these coherent states facilitate the derivation of fluid-dynamical equations corresponding to this model in the classical limit. From the conservative form of these equations it is concluded that the system represented by the Caldirola-Kanai equation cannot be considered as the quantum analogue of the classical damped oscillator. This is contrasted with the case of a harmonic oscillator interacting with a heat bath. |
