When a system’s spectral density is proportional to some power of frequency, the value of the exponent determines whether this process is ohmic, sub-ohmic, or super-ohmic. (15[1])The rates of specific (15[1])forms of this process are denoted “gamma-sub-i” and multiply an object constructed (15[1])from the jump operators, which themselves model this process, in the Lindblad master equation. Non-equilibrium systems will self-organize to minimize their rate of this process (-5[1])according to (*) Prigogine’s (“pree-go-ZHEEN’s”) theorem. A particle undergoes Brownian motion while coupled to an infinite bath of quantum harmonic oscillators (10[1])in the Caldeira–Leggett model of this process. Assuming detailed balance, random fluctuations are linked (10[1])to this process by a namesake (10[2])theorem. (10[1])For 10 points, name this process (10[1])in which a system loses energy to its environment. ■END■ (10[2])
