Abstract
In the present paper we study the quantum damped harmonic oscillator on non-commuting two-dimensional space. We calculate the time evolution operator and we find the exact propagator of the system. We investigate as well the thermodynamic properties of the system using the standard canonical density matrix. We find the statistical distribution function and the partition function. We calculate the specific heat for the limiting case of critical damping, where the frequencies of the system vanish. Finally we study the state of the system when the phase space of the second dimension becomes classical. We find that these systems have some singularities and zeros for low temperatures.
