Reflections on Friction in Quantum MechanicsDOI: 10.3390/e12081885 Keywords: quantum friction, dissipation, open system Abstract: Distinctly quantum friction effects of three types are surveyed: internalfriction, measurement-induced friction, and quantum-fluctuation-induced friction. We demonstrate that external driving will lead to quantum internal friction, and critique the measurement-based interpretation of friction. We conclude that in general systems will experience internal and external quantum friction over and beyond the classical frictional contributions.
