Abstract
The motivation of this work is to get an additional insight into the irreversible energy dissipation on the quantum level. The presented examination procedure is based on the Feynman path integral method that is applied and widened towards the calculation of the kernel of a quantum mechanical damped oscillator. Here, it is shown that the energy loss of the oscillator can be generated by the introduced harmonic complex potential. The related damped wave function, however, does not pertain to the probability meaning as it is usual in the case of complex absorbing potentials. This decrease of the wave function is evaluated, moreover, the energy dissipation and the measure the irreversibility are expressed.
