Oscillators coupled to heat baths have a long tradition as models for dissipative systems in statistical and quantum mechanics [1]. We apply quantum Langevin equations to a system of two oscillators with a bilinear coupling [2]. Spectral representations for the mean energy of interaction and the covariance matrix of the canonical coordinates are derived and discussed [3]. Of particular interest are shifts in the eigenfrequencies as the coupling is increased, the thermal equilibrium situation and the quantum correlations between the oscillators if the attached baths have different temperatures. In addition, we provide a survey of quantization schemes starting from a classification of couplings between classical oscillators.
