Abstract
An iterative path integral procedure is developed for calculating equilibri
um two-time correlation functions of quantum dissipative systems. Its numer
ical feasibility is demonstrated by studying the position-position correlat
ion function of two-level systems at various temperatures. It is also shown
that canonical partition functions are also amenable to an iterative treat
ment. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
