Expansion method for nonlinear quantum master equations

We are interested in the solutions of those master equations which appear when we consider a nonlinear coupling between an oscillator and an arbitrary thermal bath. For this purpose we implement a power series expansion in the parameter Ω = kT/ h {combining short stroke overlay}ω0. After observing t...

description We are interested in the solutions of those master equations which appear when we consider a nonlinear coupling between an oscillator and an arbitrary thermal bath.
