Lagrangians and Hamiltonians with friction

Methods are presented for extending a promising formalism that incorporates dissipative forces into Quantum Mechanics. Hamiltonians and Lagrangians are constructed that have additional force and frictional terms while still being consistent with the rules of the formalism. The simple systems of a da...

Description
Summary:Methods are presented for extending a promising formalism that incorporates dissipative forces into Quantum Mechanics. Hamiltonians and Lagrangians are constructed that have additional force and frictional terms while still being consistent with the rules of the formalism. The simple systems of a damped particle in a force field and a quadratically damped oscillator are discussed.
