摘要：

The reduced dynamics of a Brownian particle is discussed in single collision approach valid typically in dilute-gas environments. Our main purpose is a consistent account of quantum friction caused by local environmental interactions. We derive a Lindblad master equation whose generators are calculated from the differential cross-section of single collisions between the Brownian and the gas particles, respectively. The existence of thermal equilibrium for the Brownian particle's state rho is proved. Master equations proposed earlier are shown to be particular cases of our one.
