Abstract
The existence of entanglement in the ground state of a two-level particle coupled to a bosonic environment is proved. The
quantum covariances of pairs of simple dynamical variables relative to different subsystems are explicitly shown to be bounded.
Physically interpretable conditions for the occurrence of weak intraenvironmental correlations are reported and discussed.
The potentialities of our treatment are briefly put into evidence.
