Abstract

In the frame of the Lindblad theory of open quantum systems, the spherical harmonic oscillator with opening operators linear in the coordinates and the momenta of the considered system is analyzed. Explicit expressions for the damping of the energy, angular momentum and its projection, including the coupling of the harmonic oscillator due to the environment, are obtained.
