Abstract: | A retarded quantum Langevin equation is derived for a small subsystem coupled to an arbitrary number of large reservoirs by treating the small back-action on the reservoir within linear response theory. Interpreting the coupling to the reservoirs as input to the small subsyste, and using the advanced quantum Langevin equation to define the corresponding output emitted into the reservoirs, causally connected input and output variables are constructed which are used to set up anS-matrix formalism relating input and output variables in a unitary and causal way. An application to squeezing by subharmonic generation with arbitrary linear response is given. |
