Dissipative Quantum Systems in ThermoField Dynamics
Abstract
We investigate a class of microscopic systems in interaction with a macroscopic system in thermal equilibrium, following the construction of Dalibard, Dupont-Roc and Cohen-Tannoudji (DDC). By considering self-adjoint operators as elements of Schwinger's Measurement Algebra (SMA), we construct statistical mean values of the relevant observables as matrix elements in a suitable operator basis, which correspond to the vacuum states of ThermoField Dynamics (TFD).
