Area of Science:

  • Quantum Mechanics
  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Spin Dynamics

Background:

  • Spin relaxation is crucial for understanding quantum systems.
  • The spin-boson model describes spin interactions with a bath.
  • Strong-coupling regimes present unique theoretical challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate spin relaxation in the strong-coupling regime.
