The quantum effects in quadratically damped systems

  • 1. Department of Physics, Cochin University of Science and Technology, Cochin 682022 (India)

Description

A dynamical system with a damping that is quadratic in velocity is converted into the Hamiltonian format using a nonlinear transformation. Its quantum mechanical behaviour is then analysed by invoking the Gaussian effective potential technique. The method is worked out explicitly for the Duffing oscillator potential. ((orig.))
