[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Quantum-classical correspondence in Redfield theory.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Cohen and Tannor nice paper on quantum-classical correspondence and Redfield theory. Dear group members, as my teaching preparation is going on today, I found a nice paper by Kohen and David Tannor about the quantum-classical correspondence in the Redfield theory that hast plots and maybe insights that are relevant to the projects that the group is doing in our projects related to quantum coherence. It is added to Connotea and linked below.
