Particle in a box with dissipation

Abstract

The canonical quantization of a system of free particle in a bounded volume in space, particle in a box, containing a dissipative medium, is carried out according to the Dirac method. A suitable Schrödinger equation is set up and solved for the Lagrangian representing this system. The viscous forces effects and hence the dissipation are represented clearly in the resultant wave function as will as in the energy eigenvalues. © 2007 Asian Network for Scientific Information.
