The motion of a quantum-mechanical particle driven by a random fluctuating force is studied. Dissipation is introduced by coupling the particle to a continuous distribution of harmonic oscillators. A general expression for the mean-square displacement 〈${x}^{2}$(t)〉 is derived. It is shown that for long times t, one gets a crossover from a nondiffusive behavior 〈${x}^{2}$(t)〉\ensuremath{\propto}${t}^{3}$ for the dissipationless case to a diffusive one 〈${x}^{2}$(t)〉\ensuremath{\propto}t when dissipation is introduced. The case where the random driving force vanishes is also examined. Here the long-time behavior depends on the initial conditions of the oscillators and one gets 〈${x}^{2}$(t)〉\ensuremath{\propto}lnt if they are initially in their ground state (i.e., at zero temperature) and 〈${x}^{2}$(t)〉\ensuremath{\propto}Tt if they are initially at a finite temperature T. |
