Abstract
In this study, an attempt was made to solve the dynamics of the Stern-Gerlach spin in contact with a linearly dissipative environment at an arbitrary temperature. All the previous results in the high-temperature limit were recovered. It was observed that except for the extreme quantum case of zero temperature, the system shows the expected classical diffusive behavior over long times.
