Non-Markovian dynamics in a spin star system: Exact solution and approximation techniques
Heinz-Peter Breuer, Daniel Burgarth, Francesco Petruccione
The reduced dynamics of a central spin coupled to a bath of N spin-1/2 particles arranged in a spin star configuration is investigated. The exact time evolution of the reduced dens…
