Abstract: | The Kanai model of a quantum mechanical Brownian particle is used to examine the effect of interactions between particles and their environment. Random forces cause the thermalization of the particle. Reflection of a particle from a step barrier is analyzed. The problem of tunneling of the Brownian particle through a rectangular barrier is solved. Finally, a solution for a Brownian particle in a box is presented. |
