24. This feature, which may strike some readers as unusual, has its root in the fact that we are dealing with diagrams representing probabilities rather than probability amplitudes.
25. The leading terms of Eq. (3.14) for α≪1 were considered earlier in by Weiss and Wollensak (Ref. 25) in the context of the macroscopic quantum coherence problem.
26. The equation (3.8) for P(t) together with the self-energy series in Eq. (3.13) can actually be further renormalized to give a self-consistent equation for the self-energy which can be solved iteratively. Since this further renormalization does not lead to any substantial improvement in the final results, we do not consider it explicitly here. Also see Sec. III D.
27. We performed some of our calculation using a Drude cutoff, which was used in, Ref. 3 with no essential differences compared to Fig. 3.
