The two level systems are described by a large pseudo-spin J. An equation for the expectation value M(t) of the z-component of the pseudo spin is derived and solved numerically for an ohmic bath at T=0. In case of a large cut-off frequency of the spectral function, a Markov approximation is justified and an analytical solution is presented. We find that M(t) relaxes towards a highly correlated state with maximum value $\\pm J$ for large times. However, this relaxation is extremely slow for most parameter values so as if the system was \"frozen in\" by interaction with the bosonic bath.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2001-11-12T15:41:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "strong coupling regime", "large-spin-boson system", "level systems", "bosonic bath", "large cut-off frequency" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
