We describe our recent results on the resonant perturbation theory of decoherenceand relaxation for quantum systems with many qubits. The approachrepresents a rigorous analysis of the phenomenon of decoherence and relaxationfor general N-level systems coupled to reservoirs of bosonic fields. We derivea representation of the reduced dynamics valid for all times t≥0 and for smallbut fixed interaction strength. Our approach does not involve master equationapproximations and applies to a wide variety of systems which are not explicitlysolvable
