18. We note that bath modes with frequencies ω≫Δ can actually be incorporated by an adiabatic elimination procedure (Refs. 14 and 16), which simply leads to a renormalization of Δ. In what follows, we imagine that such high-frequency modes have already been eliminated.

30. Note that the initial preparation specified by Eq. (8) does not actually yield the true thermal ET rate. The true thermal ET rate constant is related to the equilibrium time-correlation function of the projection operator |L〉, 〈L|, which does not correspond to the factorized initial preparation in Eq. (8). However, in most cases where the friction coefficient α is large, the resulting difference in the calculated ET rate is negligible.
