A method is proposed to transform any analytic solution of the Bloch equation into an analytic solution of the Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert equation. This allows for the analytical description of the dynamics of a two-level system with damping. This method shows that damping turns the linear Schrödinger equation of a two-level system into a nonlinear Schrödinger equation. As an application, the effect of damping on self-induced transparency is investigated.
