An efficient variational polaron master equation for non-Markovian spin-boson dynamics: Transformed initial states and general observables

We investigate the effects of initial states on the dynamics of a quantum spin-boson model using an efficient variational polaron master equation approach. The transformation of a factorized system-environment initial state into the variational polaron frame introduces inhomogeneous terms in the master equation, essent...
