Abstract

We examine the weak noise limit of an overdamped dissipative system within a semiclassical description and show how quantization influences the growth and decay of fluctuations of the thermally equilibrated systems. We trace its origin in a semiclassical counterpart of the generalized potential for the dissipative system.
