Description

Book Synopsis
Replaces the contrived application of the quantum master equation with a satisfactory treatment of quantum fluctuations. This work covers the fluctuations and stochastic methods for describing them. It is of interest to students and researchers in applied mathematics, physics and physical chemistry.
