    """
    Calculates the Bloch-Redfield tensor for a system given
    a set of operators and corresponding spectral functions that describes the
    system's coupling to its environment.

    Parameters
    ----------

    H : :class:`qutip.Qobj`, :class:`qutip.QobjEvo`
        System Hamiltonian.

    a_ops : list of (a_op, spectra)
        Nested list of system operators that couple to the environment,
        and the corresponding bath spectra.

        a_op : :class:`qutip.Qobj`, :class:`qutip.QobjEvo`
            The operator coupling to the environment. Must be hermitian.

        spectra : :obj:`.Coefficient`, func, str
            The corresponding bath spectra.
            Can be a :obj:`.Coefficient` using an 'w' args, a function of the
            frequency or a string. The :class:`SpectraCoefficient` can be used
            for array based coefficient.
            The spectra can depend on ``t`` if the corresponding
            ``a_op`` is a :obj:`.QobjEvo`.

        Example:

        .. code-block::

            a_ops = [
                (a+a.dag(), ('w>0', args={"w": 0})),
                (QobjEvo(a+a.dag()), 'w > exp(-t)'),
                (QobjEvo([b+b.dag(), lambda t: ...]), lambda w: ...)),
                (c+c.dag(), SpectraCoefficient(coefficient(array, tlist=ws))),
            ]


    c_ops : list
        List of system collapse operators.

    sec_cutoff : float {0.1}
        Cutoff for secular approximation. Use ``-1`` if secular approximation
        is not used when evaluating bath-coupling terms.

    fock_basis : bool {False}
        Whether to return the tensor in the input basis or the diagonalized
        basis.

    sparse_eigensolver : bool {False}
        Whether to use the sparse eigensolver

    br_dtype : ['sparse', 'dense', 'data']
        Which data type to use when computing the brtensor.
        With a cutoff 'sparse' is usually the most efficient.

    Returns
    -------
    R, [evecs]: :class:`qutip.Qobj`, tuple of :class:`qutip.Qobj`
        If ``fock_basis``, return the Bloch Redfield tensor in the laboratory
        basis. Otherwise return the Bloch Redfield tensor in the diagonalized
        Hamiltonian basis and the eigenvectors of the Hamiltonian as hstacked
        column.
