Abstract

Generalized spin-boson (GSB) models describe the interaction between a quantum mechanical system and a structured boson environment, mediated by a family of coupling functions known as form factors. We propose an extension of the class of GSB models, which can accommodate non-normalizable form factors provided that they satisfy a weaker growth constraint, thus accounting for a rigorous description of a wider range of physical scenarios; we also show that such "singular"GSB models can be rigorously approximated by GSB models with normalizable form factors. Furthermore, we discuss in greater detail the structure of the spin-boson model with a rotating wave approximation: for this model, the result is improved via a nonperturbative approach that enables us to further extend the class of admissible form factors as well as to compute its resolvent and characterize its self-adjointness domain.
