Can "quantumness" be an origin of dissipation?
  In their constructions of system of quantum stochastic differential equations, mathematicians and/or several physicists interpret that the function of random force operator is to preserve the canonical commutation relation in time, i.e., to secure the unitarity of time evolution generator even for dissipative systems. If this is the case, it means physically that the origin of dissipation is attributed to quantum non-commutativity ({\it quantumness}). The mechanism that the mathematician's approaches rest on will be investigated from the unified view point of Non-Equilibrium Thermo Field Dynamics (NETFD) which is a canonical operator formalism of quantum systems in far-from-equilibrium state including the system of quantum {\it stochastic} equations.
