Abstract
We discuss the quantum dynamics of the central spin model in a regime where the central spin and bath are slaved to each other. The exact solution is found when the bath is static and is compared with the effect of an external field, finding that they are inequivalent due to the quantum nature of the environment. When the bath has dynamics, we analyze the differences between the numerical simulation using time-dependent perturbation theory and the equation of motion technique, which shows better accuracy. We demonstrate that the use of dynamical renormalization group (dRG), simultaneously with the equation of motion technique, provides a suitable analytical tool to understand the physics, to capture the main physical processes, and a powerful method to eliminate secular terms. In addition, this approach allows to separate classical nonlinear behavior from corrections due to quantum correlations.
