Prerelaxation in quantum, classical, and quantum-classical two-impurity models

We numerically study the relaxation dynamics of impurity-host systems, focusing on the presence of long-lived metastable states in the nonequilibrium dynamics after an initial excitation of the impurities. In generic systems, an excited impurity coupled to a large bath at zero temperature is expecte...
