Time-dependent pointer states of the generalized spin-boson model and consequences regarding the decoherence of the central system

Hoofar Daneshvar, G. W. F. Drake

We consider a spin-boson Hamiltonian which is generalized such that the Hamiltonians for the system (${\hat{H}}_{\mathcal{S}}$) and the interaction with the environment ($\hat{H}_{\rm int…
