Abstract
We develop a quantum Smoluchowski equation in terms of a true probability distribution function to describe quantum Brownian motion in configuration space in large friction limit at arbitrary temperature and derive the rate of barrier crossing and tunneling within a unified scheme. The present treatment is independent of path integral formalism and is based on canonical quantization procedure.
