Abstract

A close examination of the validity of the Markovian approximation in the context of relaxation theory is presented. In particular, we examine the question of positivity of various approximations to the reduced dynamics of an open system in interaction with a heat reservoir. It is shown that the Markovian equations of motion obtained in the weak coupling limit (Redfield equations) are a consistent approximation to the actual reduced dynamics only if supplemented by a slippage in the initial conditions. This slippage captures the effects of the non-Markovian evolution that takes place in a short transient time, of the order of the relaxation time of the isolated bath.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
