Abstract:
It is known that one can characterize the decoherence strength of a Markovian
environments by the product of its temperature and induced damping, and order
the decoherence strength of multiple environments by this quantity. For
non-Markovian environments in the weak coupling regime we show that there
exists a natural, albeit partial ordering of decoherence strengths via a
perturbative treatment. This measure can be applied to both low-temperature and
non-equilibrium environments.
