The incoherent and coherent tunneling regimes are analyzed for an Ohmic environment in terms of a critical temperature defined by the maximum of the heat capacity. The corresponding numerical results issued from solving a non-linear coupled system are fitted to approximate path--integral analytical expressions beyond the so-called non-interacting blip approximation in order to determine the different time scales governing both regimes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-11-22T15:09:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "langevin canonical approach", "coherences", "thermodynamic equilibrium values", "approximate path-integral analytical expressions", "chiral two-level systems" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1207.3349P" } } }
