Effects of energy dissipation on quantum nucleation of two-flavor quarkmatter in dense nuclear matter encountered in neutron star cores are examinedat low temperatures. We find that low-energy excitations of nucleons andelectrons reduce the nucleation rate exponentially via their collisions withthe surface of a quark matter droplet.Comment: 9 pages (LaTeX, PTP style), 2 Postscript figures, to be published in Prog. Theor. Phys. (Letters
