It is known that one can characterize the decoherence strength of a Markovian environment by the product of its temperature and induced damping, and order the decoherence strength of multiple environments by this quantity. We show that for non-Markovian environments in the weak coupling regime there also exists a natural (albeit partial) ordering of environment-induced irreversibility within a perturbative treatment. This measure can be applied to both low-temperature and non-equilibrium environments.

We microscopically model the decoherence dynamics of entangled coherent states under the influence of vacuum fluctuation. We derive an exact master equation with time-dependent coefficients reflecting the memory effect of the environment, by using the Feynman-Vernon influence functional theory in the coherent-state representation. Under the Markovian approximation, our master equation recovers the widely used Lindblad equation in quantum optics. We then investigate the non-Markovian entanglement dynamics of the quantum channel in terms of the entangled coherent states under noise. Compared with the results in Markovian limit, it shows that the non-Markovian effect enhances the disentanglement to the initially entangled coherent state. Our analysis also shows that the decoherence behaviors of the entangled coherent states depend sensitively on the symmetrical properties of the entangled coherent states as well as the interactions between the system and the environment.
Simulating complex processes can be intractable when memory effects are present, often necessitating approximations in the length or strength of the memory. However, quantum processes display distinct memory effects when probed differently, precluding memory approximations that are both universal and operational. Here, we show that it is nevertheless sensible to characterize the memory strength across a duration of time with respect to a sequence of probing instruments. We propose a notion of process recovery, leading to accurate predictions for any multi-time observable, with errors bounded by the memory strength. We then apply our framework to an exactly solvable non-Markovian model, highlighting the decay of memory for certain instruments that justify its truncation. Our formalism provides an unambiguous description of memory strength,paving the way for practical compression and recovery techniques pivotal to near-term quantum technologies.

We consider four two-level atoms interacting with independent non-Markovian reservoirs with detuning. We mainly investigate the effects of the detuning and the length of the reservoir correlation time on the decoherence dynamics of the multipartite entanglement. We find that the time evolution of the entanglement of atomic and reservoir subsystems is determined by a parameter, which is a function of the detuning and the reservoir correlation time. We also find that the decay and revival of the entanglement of the atomic and reservoir subsystems are closely related to the sign of the decay rate. We also show that the cluster state is the most robust to decoherence comparing with Dicke, GHZ, and W states for this decoherence channel
Non-Markovian effects are important in modeling the behavior of open quantum systems arising in solid-state physics, quantum optics as well as in study of biological and chemical systems. A common approach to the analysis of such systems is to approximate the non-Markovian environment by discrete bosonic modes thus mapping it to a Lindbladian or Hamiltonian simulation problem. While systematic constructions of such modes have been proposed in previous works [D. Tamascelli et al, PRL (2012), A. W. Chin et al, J. of Math. Phys (2010)], the resulting approximation lacks rigorous convergence guarantees. In this paper, we initiate a rigorous study of the convergence properties of these methods. We show that under some physically motivated assumptions on the system-environment interaction, the finite-time dynamics of the non-Markovian open quantum system computed with a sufficiently large number of modes is guaranteed to converge to the true result. Furthermore, we show that, for most physically interesting models of non-Markovian environments, the approximation error falls off polynomially with the number of modes. Our results lend rigor to numerical methods used for approximating non-Markovian quantum dynamics and allow for a quantitative assessment of classical as well as quantum algorithms in simulating non-Markovian quantum systems.

We study the effect of an ancillary system on the quantum speed limit time in different non-Markovian environments. Through employing an ancillary system coupled with the quantum system of interest via hopping interaction and investigating the cases that both the quantum system and ancillary system interact with their independent/common environment, and the case that only the system of interest interacts with the environment, we find that the quantum speed limit time will become shorter with enhancing the interaction between the system and environment and show periodic oscillation phenomena along with the hopping interaction between the quantum system and ancillary system increasing. The results indicate that the hopping interaction with the ancillary system and the structure of environment determine the degree of which the evolution of the quantum system can be accelerated.
