    "abstract": "We analyse the evolution of a quantum oscillator in a finite temperature\nenvironment using the quantum state diffusion (QSD) picture. Following a\ntreatment similar to that of reference [7] we identify stationary solutions of\nthe corresponding It\\^o equation. We prove their global stability and compute\ntypical time scales characterizing the localization process. The recovery of\nthe density matrix in approximately diagonal form enables us to verify the\napproach to thermal equilibrium in the long time limit and we comment on the\nconnection between QSD and the decoherent histories approach.",
