Abstract
The probability distribution describing quantum states of the damped oscillator in the framework of the Caldirola-Kanai model is introduced. The probability distributions for coherent states and Fock states of the damped oscillator are found explicitly. The transition probability for the damped oscillator is expressed in terms of distributions describing initial and final states.
