| description | The equilibrium properties of nanoscale systems can deviate significantly from standard thermodynamics due to their coupling to an environment. We investigate this here for the θ-angled spin–boson model, where we first derive a compact and general form of the classical equilibrium state including environmental corrections to all orders. Secondly, for the quantum spin–boson model we prove, by carefully taking a large spin limit, that Bohr’s quantum–classical correspondence persists at all coupling strengths. This shows, for the first time, the validity of the quantum–classical correspondence for an open system and gives insight into the regimes where the quantum system is well-approximated by a classical one. Finally, we provide the first classification of the coupling parameter regimes for the spin–boson model, from weak to ultrastrong, both for the quantum case and the classical setting. Our results shed light on the interplay of quantum and mean force corrections in equilibrium states of the spin–boson model, and will help draw the quantum to classical boundary in a range of fields, such as magnetism and exciton dynamics. |
