The quantum dynamics of a two-state system coupled to a bosonic reservoir with sub-Ohmic spectral density is investigated for strong friction. Numerically exact path integral Monte Carlo methods reveal that a changeover from coherent to incoherent relaxation does not occur for a broad class of spectral distributions. In nonequilibrium coherences associated with substantial system-reservoir entanglement exist even when strong dissipation forces the thermodynamic state of the system to behave almost classically. This may be of relevance for current experiments with nanoscale devices.
