24. Decoherence effects with environments modeled by random matrices are recently considered in C. Pineda and T. H. Seligman, Phys. Rev. A PLRAAN 1050-2947 10.1103/PhysRevA.75.012106 75, 012106 (2007).
25. The same scaling with is derived in a more rigorous treatment for M -level quantum systems interacting with reservoirs in the thermodynamic limit in M. Merkli, I. M. Sigal, and G. P. Berman, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.98.130401 98, 130401 (2007). We also remark that the decoherence time given in that paper also scales as -2, where the initial state of the environment is assumed to be an equilibrium state and the off-diagonal elements of reduced density matrix are studied with respect to their equilibrium values.
26. Similar to the well-known T2 - T1 relation, the relaxation time scale τE sets an upper bound to τd.
