Given these choices of rescaling and adimensionalisation and plugging them in
the equations of motion of the previous section, one finally gets the equations
being solved by SpiDy, that is
```math
\frac{\mathrm{d}\bar{\mathbf{S}}}{\mathrm{d}\bar{t}} =
\bar{\mathbf{S}}\times\left(\bar{\mathbf{B}}_\mathrm{ext} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{S_0}}\bar{\mathbf{b}} + \bar{\mathbf{V}}\right), \\
\frac{\mathrm{d}\bar{\mathbf{V}}}{\mathrm{d}\bar{t}} = \bar{\mathbf{W}}, \\
\frac{\mathrm{d}\bar{\mathbf{W}}}{\mathrm{d}\bar{t}} = \bar{\alpha}\bar{\mathbf{S}} - \bar{\omega}_0^2\bar{\mathbf{V}} - \bar{\Gamma}\bar{\mathbf{W}},
```
with environment Lorentzian spectral density
```math
\bar{J}(\bar{\omega}) = \frac{\bar{\alpha}\bar{\Gamma}}{\pi} \frac{\bar{\omega}}{(\bar{\omega}_0^2 - \bar{\omega}^2)^2 + \bar{\omega}^2\bar{\Gamma}^2},
```
and thermal stochastic noise $\bar{\mathbf{b}}$ with power spectral density
```math
\bar{P}(\bar{\omega}) = \pi \bar{J}(\bar{\omega})\bar{N}(\bar{\omega}).
```
For the "quantum" noise, the noise term is given by
```math
\bar{N}_\mathrm{qu}(\bar{\omega}) = \coth\left(\frac{\bar{\omega}}{2\bar{T}}\right),
```
while for "classical" noise we have
```math
\bar{N}_\mathrm{cl}(\bar{\omega}) = \frac{2\bar{T}}{\bar{\omega}}.
```

Finally, note that these definitions above, the unit-free Gilbert damping is
given by (see [NJP 24 033020 (2022)](https://www.doi.org/10.1088/1367-2630/ac4ef2))
```math
\eta = \frac{\bar{\alpha}\bar{\Gamma}}{\bar{\omega}_0^4}.
