18. The fermionic reservoirs are modeled by a Lorentzian density of states with a full width at half maximum Γ. We have verified that Eq. 8 typically holds for Γτ 50.
19. We define "strong system-bath coupling" as ξ>0.5 (bosons) and πρV 1 (fermions). These parameters are defined after Eqs. 11 16, respectively.
20. In the discussion below we always assume that Δτ<1.

26. A careful inclusion of a continuous detector shows that when the TLS interacts with an environment, the measurement cannot localize the spin even when τ→0, where γ (τ) approaches a constant.
27. At the Toulouse point the polarization decay rate is 2π ωc, twice our result. At short times our expression for the decay of the upper level population agrees with this value.

32. A spin coupled to three electrodes with equal chemical potentials: source (n=1), drain (n=3), and a gate (n=2), with Vk,1; k′, 3 = Vk,3; k′, 1 = Vk,2; k′, 2 =V, else Vk,n; k′, n′ =0, acquires the maximal exponent of 3.
