Theory of the spin bath
TL;DR: The central spin model as mentioned in this paper is a spin bath analogue of the spin-boson oscillator model, and describes the tunnelling dynamics of nanoscopic and mesoscopic magnets and superconductors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theory of the spin bath
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show how to average over spin bath modes, using an operator instanton technique, to find the system dynamics, and give analytic results for the correlation functions, under various conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the decoherence mechanisms of macroscopic quantum phenomena in magnetic spin glasses have been investigated, and new experiments have been proposed to test these mechanisms in the case of molecular magnets.
