Correction to: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-39140-2, published online 27 February 2019

This Article contains errors in the equation and text under subheading ‘Motivation behind the model’.

“When we compare Eq. (9) with the usual Hamiltonian of a spin bath model^34,35,36 in the interaction picture, given by,

$${H}_{spin-bath}=\hslash \alpha \mathop{\sum }\limits_{n=1}^{N}({\sigma }_{x}^{(s)}{\sigma }_{x}^{(n)}+{\sigma }_{y}^{(s)}{\sigma }_{y}^{(n)}+{\sigma }_{z}^{(s)}{\sigma }_{z}^{(n)})$$

we find that the only difference comes from the |0〉 〈0| factors arising in Eq. (9), which are replaced by 𝟙 for the spin bath Hamiltonian.”

should read:
