Quantum dissipation of a heavy quark from a nonlinear stochastic Schrödinger equation
Abstract We study the open system dynamics of a heavy quark in the quark-gluon plasma using a Lindblad master equation. Applying the quantum state diffusion approach by Gisin and Percival, we derive and numerically solve a nonlinear stochastic Schrödinger equation for wave functions, which is equiva...
