Abstract
In this work, dissipative quantum backflow is studied for a superposition of two stretched Gaussian wave packets and two identical spinless particles within the Caldirola-Kanai framework. Backflow is mainly an interference process and dissipation is not able to suppress it in the first case. For two identical spinless particles, apart from interference terms, the symmetry of the wave function seems to be crucial in this dynamics. The combined properties make bosons display this effect, even for the dissipative regime but, for fermions, backflow is not exhibited in any regime, dissipative and nodissipative. The anti-symmetric character of the corresponding wave function seems to be strong enough to prevent it. For bosons, backflow is also analyzed in terms of fidelity of one-particle states which is a well-known property of two quantum states. At very small values of fidelity, this effect is not seen even for bosons.
