Abstract

We present an alternative method for describing the evolution of a mode of the quantized electromagnetic field in contact with a finite temperature thermal bath. We employ the expansion of the field density operator in terms of coherent states and the related Glauber-Sudarshan P-function in phase space. The method allows us to obtain analytical expressions of the system's time-evolved P-function without needing to solve the corresponding master equation. (C) 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
