| Understanding decoherence in open quantum many-spin systems is important for many fields of physics, from quantum computations (QC) to the nuclear and electronic spin resonance. We use numerical simulations to study some particularly interesting situations where the destructive impact of environment can be suppressed, so that the quantum oscillations in the system fall off very slowly, demonstrating a power-law decay. Such a slow decay may be experimentally relevant for the QC architectures based on electron spins in quantum dots or nuclear spins in semiconductors.
