Non-Markovian relaxation of a quantum system

A non-Markovian treatment of the relaxation of a spin j is developed. The corresponding reduced collision operator admits a discrete spectral representation whose eginevalues are extracted in a high temperature limit. Then, assuming a phonon reservoir with a Debye-like density of phonon states, the...
