    "abstract": "We analyze the dynamics of a quantum mechanical system in interaction with a\nreservoir when the initial state is not factorized. In the weak-coupling (van\nHove) limit, the dynamics can be properly described in terms of a master\nequation, but a consistent application of Nakajima-Zwanzig\u0027s projection method\nrequires that the reference (not necessarily equilibrium) state of the\nreservoir be endowed with the mixing property.",
