Abstract Interaction between a quantum system and its surroundings - be it another similar quantum system, a thermal reservoir, or a measurement device - breaks down the standard unitary evolution of the system alone and introduces open quantum system behaviour. Coupling to a fast-relaxing thermal reservoir is known to lead to an exponential decay of the quantum state, a process described by a Lindblad-type master equation. In modern quantum physics, however, near isolation of individual quantum objects, such as qubits, atoms, or ions, sometimes allow them only to interact with a slowly-relaxing near-environment, and the consequent decay of the atomic quantum state may become nonexponential and possibly even nonmonotonic. Here we consider different descriptions of non-Markovian evolutions and also hazards associated with them, as well as some physical situations in which the environment of a quantum system induces non-Markovian phenomena. 

In solution at room temperature excited ci.s-stilbene may deactivate via three pathways cis - trans photoisomerization, internal conversion to the cis ground state, and formation of DHP. There is no indication of an intersystem crossing step to 3c (-> p t ). In the absence of oxygen DHP relaxes thermally back to cis-stilbene by ring opening, whereas... 

As the proportion of c/s-isomers relaxes thermally to the equilibrium state, the enhanced sensitivity of the film to the writii beam degrades completely, for about 10 hours at ambient temperature (the lifetime of cis-isomers). The desensibilization process may be accelerated by additional exposure of the film to the white light of an incandescent lamp, as shown in Figure 5.20, right (power density 2 mW/cm in the range 450 to 650nm) A 30 min irradiation is sufficient to suppress the sensitivity by convertii all cis-isomers into their frans-counterparts. It is of great importance, nevertheless. 

Spin-lattice relaxation (thermal or longitudinal relaxation) Phenomenon of spins going to the thermal equilibrium state with other molecules in lattice. It is characterized by the exponential time constant Ti. Also, it determines the recovery time of the longitudinal magnetization M. ... 

Various instrumental methods applied or developed at MMI over the past ten years to study liquid state transitions are presented. T>Tg transition studies with an emf asis on polystyrene are discussed. Instrumental techniques cover the areas of dielectric relaxation, thermal methods, dynamic mechanical relaxation, and computer statistical analysis of tabulated literature data, as well as the spectroscopic methods of Fourier transform infrared and electron spin resonance. 

According to the authors, the conversion of triplet cyclohexenone is best described as an intramolecular homolytic substitution (S 2 reaction) with attack of the radical center C(3) on C(5), the leaving group (i.e., the diaUcyl-substituted C(4)) then being trans to the alkyl group at C(5) or C(6) (Scheme 3). The propane-1,3-diyl triplet intermediate 4 is then expected not to relax thermally on the triplet surface, but rather undergo very rapid inters) tem crossing.
