    "abstract": "We consider discrete quantum systems coupled to finite environments which may\npossibly consist of only one particle in contrast to the standard baths which\nusually consist of continua of oscillators, spins, etc. We find that such\nfinite environments may, nevertheless, act as thermostats, i.e., equilibrate\nthe system though not necessarily in the way predicted by standard open system\ntechniques. Thus, we apply a novel technique called the Hilbert space Average\nMethod (HAM) and verify its results numerically.",
