64. Some authors use the term "Markov approximation" for the combination of step (ii) and the replacement of the upper integration limit / in Eq. (2.10) by infinity, which results in a time evolution described by a semigroup. In this paper, the additional approximation, where the upper "integration limit is replaced by infinity, is referred to as the stationary Redfield tensor approximation.

76. This failure of the lowest order perturbation theory to describe decay rates in systems with a large mismatch between the system frequency and the characteristic frequency of the bath is well known from the theory of vibrational relaxation processes (Refs. 93 and 94).

86. Another method that has been proposed to discretize the continuous spectral density of the bath in certain physical limits is the surrogate Hamiltonian (Refs. 88 and 87), where only a few modes and a single excitation of each mode is considered. This procedure is, however, not adequate for a numerical exact treatment of the examples considered in this paper.
