Exact derivation of the Langevin and master equations for harmonic quantum Brownian motion

A many-particle Hamiltonian, where the interaction term conserves the number of particles, is considered. A master equation for the populations of the different levels is derived in an exact way. It results in a local equation with time-dependent coefficients, which can be identified with the transi...
