## Abstract

The kinetics of relaxation in quantum systems induced by anomalous fluctuating noise is studied in detail. In this study two processes are considered, as examples: (1) relaxation in two-level system caused by external noise with slowly decaying correlation function P (t) ~ (wt)^{-alpha}, where 0 \< alpha \< 1, and (2) anomalous-diffusion controlled radical pair recombination in which relaxation results from the reaction with slowly fluctuating reaction rate whose fluctuations are governed by subdiffusive relative motion of radicals in a potential well. Analysis of these two processes is made within continuous time random walk approach (CTRWA). Rigorous CTRWA-treatment of the processes under study results in the non-Markovian stochastic Liouville equation (SLE) for the density matrix of the systems. This SLE predicts important specific features of relaxation kinetics of quantum systems in the presence of the above mentioned anomalous noise.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
