Phase space methods in open quantum systems

In this work we extend the phase space approach of quantum mechanics to open quantum systems. Using the formalism of generalized coherent states and the time-dependent variational principle, phase space Langevin equations are derived for harmonic oscillator and spin systems. It is proved that the fo...
