Abstract The nonlinear equation of dissipative quantum mechanics is considered in the relaxation-time approximation. It is shown that the steady current-free state does not change when dissipation is taken into account; in particular, there is no ground-state damping, and the zero energy is conserved. A solution is obtained to the problem of the excitation of a harmonic oscillator, serving as a model of single-mode radiation in an open resonator; the solution obtained describes the evolution of the oscillator from an arbitrary steady state under the action of a constraining force. Transition probabilities between the oscillator steady states are calculated. The results are found to be in agreement with the classical theory of damping oscillations.
