the resulting equations of motion for the quantum subsystem are mathematically identical to those of the Lindblad master equation for a two level uncoupled system with a decay from an excited state to a ground state. Thus, while the Ehrenfest+R method was not originally intended to broadly describe and simulate Lindblad dynamics for generic quantum subsystems, the method should be, in principle, able to do exactly this (at least when the energy gap is much larger than the decay rate). Additionally, Ehrenfest+R was a primary source of inspiration for the L-MFE method derived in this paper, so it is fruitful to examine the quantum subsystem part of the Ehrenfest+R method in order to understand its relation to the L-MFE method and to understand any potential issues it has.
