Orthogonal polynomials and open quantum systems

This thesis is concerned with the study of quantum systems coupled linearly to a continuous bath of oscillators examples of which are the spin-boson model and the Nelson model. The main theme throughout is to develop a better understanding of the properties of the bath of oscillators such that more...
