The study of memory effects in quantum channels helps in developing characterization methods for open quantum systems and strategies for quantum error correction. Two main sets of channels exist, corresponding to system dynamics with no memory (Markovian) and with memory (non-Markovian). Interestingly, these sets have a non-convex geometry, allowing one to form a channel with memory from the addition of memoryless channels and vice-versa. Here, we experimentally investigate this non-convexity in a photonic setup by subjecting a single qubit to a convex combination of Markovian and non-Markovian channels. We use both divisibility and distinguishability as criteria for the classification of memory effects, with associated measures. Our results highlight some practical considerations that may need to be taken into account when using memory criteria to study system dynamics given by the addition of Markovian and non-Markovian channels in experiments.

Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices have been proposed as a versatile tool for simulating open quantum systems. Recently, the use of NISQ devices as simulators for non-Markovian open quantum systems has helped verify the current descripti ons of non-Markovianity in quantum physics. In this work, convex mixtures of channels are simulated using NISQ devices and classified as either Markovian or non-Markovian using the CP-divisibility criteria. Two cases are considered: two Markovian channels being convexly mixed to form a non-Markovian channel and vice versa. This work replicates the experiments performed in a linear optical setup, using NISQ devices, with the addition of a convex mixture of non-Markovian channels that was designed to address some of the problems faced in the experiments performed in the linear optical setup. The NISQ devices used were provided by the IBM Quantum Experience (IBM QE). The results obtained show that, using NISQ devices and within some error, convex mixtures of Markovian channels lead to a non-Markovian channel and vice versa.
We provide an experimental study of the relationship between the action of different classical noises on the dephasing dynamics of a two-level system and the non-Markovianity of the quantum dynamics. The two-level system is encoded in the photonic po larization degrees of freedom and the action of the noise is obtained via a spatial light modulator, thus allowing for an easy engineering of different random environments. The quantum non-Markovianity of the dynamics driven by classical Markovian and non-Markovian noise, both Gaussian and non-Gaussian, is studied by means of the trace distance. Our study clearly shows the different nature of the notion of non-Markovian classical process and non-Markovian quantum dynamics.
Every quantum system is coupled to an environment. Such system-environment interaction leads to temporal correlation between quantum operations at different times, resulting in non-Markovian noise. In principle, a full characterisation of non-Markovi an noise requires tomography of a multi-time processes matrix, which is both computationally and experimentally demanding. In this paper, we propose a more efficient solution. We employ machine learning models to estimate the amount of non-Markovianity, as quantified by an information-theoretic measure, with tomographically incomplete measurement. We test our model on a quantum optical experiment, and we are able to predict the non-Markovianity measure with $90%$ accuracy. Our experiment paves the way for efficient detection of non-Markovian noise appearing in large scale quantum computers.
For a bosonic (fermionic) open system in a bath with many bosons (fermions) modes, we derive the exact non-Markovian master equation in which the memory effect of the bath is reflected in the time dependent decay rates. In this approach, the reduced density operator is constructed from the formal solution of the corresponding Heisenberg equations. As an application of the exact master equation, we study the active probing of non-Markovianity of the quantum dissipation of a single boson mode of electromagnetic (EM) field in a cavity QED system. The non-Markovianity of the bath of the cavity is explicitly reflected by the atomic decoherence factor.
We study the dynamics of a quantum system whose interaction with an environment is described by a collision model, i.e. the open dynamics is modelled through sequences of unitary interactions between the system and the individual constituents of the environment, termed ancillas, which are subsequently traced out. In this setting non-Markovianity is introduced by allowing for additional unitary interactions between the ancillas. For this model, we identify the relevant system-environment correlations that lead to a non-Markovian evolution. Through an equivalent picture of the open dynamics, we introduce the notion of memory depth where these correlations are established between the system and a suitably sized memory rendering the overall system+memory evolution Markovian. We extend our analysis to show that while most system-environment correlations are irrelevant for the dynamical characterization of the process, they generally play an important role in the thermodynamic description. Finally, we show that under an energy-preserving system-environment interaction, a non-monotonic time behaviour of the heat flux serves as an indicator of non-Markovian behaviour.
