dc.descriptionWe develop a mathematical description of the decoherence caused by "spin baths", such as nuclear spins or magnetic impurities. In contrast to the usual oscillator bath models of quantum environments, decoherence in the spin bath can occur without any dissipation. Given the almost ubiquitous presence of nuclear spins in nature, our results have important consequences for quantum measurement theory, particularly as the decoherence mechanisms in spin baths work very differently from those in oscillator baths.
