We solve a model of a qubit strongly coupled to a massive environmental oscillator mode where the qubit backaction is treated exactly. Using a Ginzburg-Landau formalism, we derive an effective action for this well known localization transition. An entangled state emerges as an instanton in the collective qubit-environment degree of freedom and the resulting model is shown to be formally equivalent to a Fluctuating Gap Model (FGM) of a disordered Peierls chain. Below the transition, spectral weight is transferred to an exponentially small energy scale leaving the qubit coherent but damped. Unlike the spin-boson model, coherent and effectively localized behaviors may coexist.
