    "abstract": "The first in a long series of papers by John T. Lewis,\n  G. W. Ford and the present author, considered the problem of the most general\ncoupling of a quantum particle to a linear passive heat bath, in the course of\nwhich they derived an exact formula for the free energy of an oscillator\ncoupled to a heat bath in thermal equilibrium at temperature T. This formula,\nand its later extension to three dimensions to incorporate a magnetic field,\nhas proved to be invaluable in analyzing problems in quantum thermodynamics.\nHere, we address the question raised in our title viz. Nernst\u0027s third law of\nthermodynamics.",
