At low temperatures, the approximation is argued to apply at intermediate times as well. It then provides a tractable approach complementary to Markovian-type approximations, and is appropriate for evaluation of deviations from pure states in quantum computing models.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2004-11-28T17:03:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "open quantum systems", "initial decoherence", "short-time approximation scheme", "evaluation", "low temperatures" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "Plain TeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2002quant.ph..5037P" } } }
