Abstract
The exact solution to the master equation of a nonlinear oscillator, subject to damping or amplification, is presented. The effect of such incoherent processes on the quantum-coherence properties and recurrences is obtained. It is shown that amplification destroys quantum coherence more rapidly than does attenuation.Keywords
