摘要
A quantum-activated rate process in the presence of a nonlinear dissipative environment is studied with a Feynman path-integral technique. The nonlinear dissipation arises from specific nonlinear couplings between the reaction coordinate and a many-dimensional bath of effective harmonic oscillators. Such coupling results in a nonlinear influence functional for the effective Feynman path integral along the reaction coordinate. Large nonlinear effects on the rate constant are found at low temperatures.
