Considering the generic example of an anharmonic quantum oscillator, we take advantage of the fact that the commutator algebra of second order polynomials in creation/annihilation operators closes. We solve the von~Neumann equation for the density-operator exactly in the mean field approximation and study the time evolution of the particle number and the expectation value < X^2 > .6 pages, REVTeX, no figuresHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyThe dynamics of a thermal non-equilibrium anharmonic oscillatortext
