A non-perturbative analysis of spin-boson interactions using the Weyl relations

Abstract

We perform a non-perturbative analysis of the dynamics of a two-level quantum system subjected to repeated interactions with a bosonic environment when these interactions are intense and localized in time. We use the Weyl relations to obtain a closed expression for the resulting state of the spin despite the non-perturbative nature of the problem. Furthermore, we study divisibility and memory effects in the dynamics and draw conclusions about the role that the quantum-mechanical features of the environment play on the dynamics of the two-level system.
