    "abstract": "We study a general quantum system interacting with environment modeled by the\nbosonic heat bath of Caldeira and Leggett type. General interaction\nHamiltonians are considered that commute with the system\u0027s Hamiltonian so that\nthere is no energy exchange between the system and bath. We argue that this\nmodel provides an appropriate description of adiabatic quantum decoherence,\ni.e., loss of entanglement on time scales short compared to those of thermal\nrelaxation processes associated with energy exchange with the bath. The\ninteraction Hamiltonian is then proportional to a conserved \"pointer\nobservable.\" Calculation of the elements of the reduced density matrix of the\nsystem is carried out exactly, and time-dependence of decoherence is\nidentified, similar to recent results for related models. Our key finding is\nthat the decoherence process is controlled by spectral properties of the\ninteraction rather than system\u0027s Hamiltonian.",
