The reliability of the Born and Markov approximations is studied within the framework of quantum Brownian motion described by a mechanical oscillator coupled to a bath of oscillators in thermal equilibrium. It is found that the conditions for the validity of the Born approximation with or without the Markov approximation are more stringent than the usual condition with a weak coupling.
