Path Integral Analysis for a Damped Harmonic Oscillator with a Higher Derivative Term in the Damping
摘要
We consider the radiation reaction experienced by a charge undergoing harmonic oscillations, and from a canonical transformation for the canonical moments, we present a new diagonalized Hamiltonian structure in the commutative and noncommutative spacetime. By using the path integral formulation, we obtained the partition function, which leads to the quantization of the system.
