46. The spin-gas model should not be confused with the spin-bath model, which is similar but assumes a static distribution of random couplings between the molecular and the environmental spins.
47. We remark that the task of deriving a simple master equation that is also valid for fast oscillations (i.e. beyond the adiabatic approximation) becomes very hard in the case of the bosonic thermal bath.
