42. Notice that in the present paper we completely neglected situations where the bath is an open system itself. Then it can have other correlation times different compared with (Formula presented)In particular, those times can stay finite even for (Formula presented). The simplest realization is to couple each bath oscillator to a superbath, consisting again of harmonic oscillators. This approach was worked out for a model used for the quantum measurement process, see Ref. 36.
