18. To avoid notational abuse, hereafter we drop the subscript S in denoting the system averages because, even strictly speaking, YS S YS for any YS which depends on the system degrees of freedom only.

26. It is noted that approach II has been constructed and tested only for a quantum harmonic oscillator bilinearly coupled to a harmonic bath and, to our knowledge, has never been applied to more complex potentials.

29. In the spirit of normal-mode analyses, we have taken ω1i ω2i even for symmetric dumbbell, because its two constituting particles may experience different local potentials from the bath molecules.
30. exp { -β ΔS } is a close analog of the pair-correlation function for the bath molecules.

33. It was only very recently when the exact master equation for the quantum dumbbell was derived and solved.
