For a harmonic oscillator driven by classical noise, the first-passage-time distribution to an energy threshold under projective measurements is exactly a sum of exponentials with Laguerre-root rates, converging to the classical result only at high thresholds.
We note that this smallest root scales inversely with the threshold energyE B and is approximatelyλ NB 1 ≈2.404 2/(4EB)∝1/E B (see Ap- pendix B for details)
