In this chapter we treat the quantum damped harmonic oscillator, and study
mathematical structure of the model, and construct general solution with any
initial condition, and give a quantum counterpart in the case of taking
coherent state as an initial condition.
This is a simple and good model of Quantum Mechanics with dissipation which
is important to understand real world, and readers will get a powerful weapon
for Quantum Physics.Comment: Latex ; 25 pages ; no figure. A book-chapter, "Quantum Mechanics",
