14. As noted by R. Alicki, D.A. Lidar, and P. Zanardi, Phys. Rev. A 73, 052311 (2006), Markovian approximation requires the relaxation rates to be much smaller than the minimum gap, hence Γ(0)gm. Using 7, we find γ(0) gm, consistent with our original assumptions. PLRAAN 1050-2947 10.1103/PhysRevA.73.052311
