Abstract

The dissipative quantum Liouville equation describes the evolution of an N-body system interacting dissipatively with its environment. In this work a recently proposed moment-equation representation of the quantum Liouville equation is applied to derive a closed self-consistent set of moment equations for both dissipative and nondissipative quantum systems. Potential applications of these results are found in hydrodynamic descriptions of nuclear collisions, quantum Brownian motion, dissipative quantum tunneling and quantum transport in ultrasmall electronic devices.
