The theory of a general quantum system interacting with a linear dissipative system
A formalism has been developed, using Feynman's space-time formulation of non-relativistic quantum mechanics whereby the behavior of a system of interest, which is coupled to other external quantum systems, may be calculated in terms of its own variables only. It is shown that the effect of the...
