In addition to [[Dephasing|dephasing]], energy relaxation is a mechanism that contributes to the loss of [[Quantum Information|quantum information]], i.e. to the [[Decoherence|decoherence]] of [[Qubit|qubits]].
Energy relaxation describes jumps between [[Bohr Model|energy levels]] so that the system comes into (thermal) equilibrium with its environment.
