Quantum propagator for a general quadratic Lagrangian is obtained using position and momentum operators in Heisenberg picture and properties of propagators. For a quantum system governed by a general quadratic Lagrangian containing external forces, decoherence decay time, thermal distribution functions, and thermal Wigner function are obtained in high temperature and weak coupling regime.

In this paper we consider a large system of bosons or fermions. We start with an initial datum which is compatible with the Bose–Einstein, respectively Fermi–Dirac, statistics. We let the system of interacting particles evolve in a weak-coupling regime. We show that, in the limit, and up to the second order in the potential, the perturbative expansion expressing the value of the one-particle Wigner function at time t, agrees with the analogous expansion for the solution to the Uehling–Uhlenbeck equation. This paper follows the same spirit as the companion work,2 where the authors investigated the weak-coupling limit for particles obeying the Maxwell–Boltzmann statistics: here, they proved a (much stronger) convergence result towards the solution of the Boltzmann equation.

The exact dynamics of a quantum damped harmonic oscillator coupled to a reservoir of boson modes has been formally described in terms of the coupling function, both in weak and strong coupling regime. In this scenario, we provide a further description of the exact dynamics through integral transforms. We focus on a special class of spectral densities, sub-ohmic at low frequencies, and including integrable divergencies referred to as photonic band gaps. The Drude form of the spectral densities is recovered as upper limit. Starting from special distributions of coherent states as external reservoir, the exact time evolution, described through Fox H-functions, shows long time inverse power law decays, departing from the exponential-like relaxations obtained for the Drude model. Different from the weak coupling regime, in the sub-ohmic condition, undamped oscillations plus inverse power law relaxations appear in the long time evolution of the observables position and momentum. Under the same condition, the number of excitations shows trapping of the population of the excited levels and oscillations enveloped in inverse power law relaxations. Similarly to the weak coupling regime, critical configurations give arbitrarily slow relaxations useful for the control of the dynamics. If compared to the value obtained in weak coupling condition, for strong couplings the critical frequency is enhanced by a factor 4.

A finite-dimensional nonperturbative approximation scheme of the time-evolution operator and the S matrix for relativistic field theories is discussed. It is amenable to computer calculations. Parallels with lattice-field theory are drawn. The method is outlined for the ϕ4 theory. Equivalence to standard perturbation theory in the weak-coupling regime is obtained in the limit of the approximation parameters. The method is tested numerically for nonrelativistic proton–proton s-wave scattering and the the ϕ4 model in the weak-coupling regime in 1 + 1 dimensions. In both examples, convergence to the reference solution is found.
