    "abstract": "We present a rigorous analysis of the phenomenon of decoherence for general\n$N-$level systems coupled to reservoirs. The latter are described by free\nmassless bosonic fields. We apply our general results to the specific cases of\nthe qubit and the quantum register. We compare our results with the explicitly\nsolvable case of systems whose interaction with the environment does not allow\nfor energy exchange (non-demolition, or energy conserving interactions). We\nsuggest a new approach which applies to a wide variety of systems which are not\nexplicitly solvable.",
