Recently remarkable progress in quantum technology has been witnessed. In view of this it is important to investigate an open quantum system as a model of such quantum devices. Quantum devices often require extreme conditions such as very low temperature for the devices to operate. Dynamics can be non-Markovian in such a situation in contrast with Markovian dynamics in high temperature regime. This observation necessitates us to investigate a non-Markovian open quantum system, both theoretically and experimentally. In this paper, we report two important results: 1) Exact solution of a simple but non-trivial theoretical model and 2) demonstration of this model by NMR experiments, where non-Markovianity is continuously controllable. We observe qualitative agreement between theory and experiment.

We investigate the asymptotic dynamics of exact quantum Brownian motion. We find that non-Markovianity can persist in the long-time limit, and that in general the asymptotic behaviour depends strongly on the system-environment coupling and the spectral density of the bath.
We study the dynamics of an open quantum system interacting with a non-thermal bath. Here, non-thermal means that the bath modes do not need to have the same temperature, but they have an effective temperature distribution. We find that, when a quant um system is interacting with such a non-thermal bath far from thermal equilibrium, it is no longer proper to use any coarse-grained Markovian description for the system, even when their coupling strength is quite weak. Especially, when there is coherent transition with strong interference strength in the quantum system, the Markovian master equation would bring in a serious problem of negative probability. After we consider some proper non-Markovian corrections, the problem can be naturally resolved.
Using the paradigm of information backflow to characterize a non-Markovian evolution, we introduce so-called precursors of non-Markovianity, i.e. necessary properties that the system and environment state must exhibit at earlier times in order for an ensuing dynamics to be non-Markovian. In particular, we consider a quantitative framework to assess the role that established system-environment correlations together with changes in environmental states play in an emerging non-Markovian dynamics. By defining the relevant contributions in terms of the Bures distance, which is conveniently expressed by means of the quantum state fidelity, these quantities are well defined and easily applicable to a wide range of physical settings. We exemplify this by studying our precursors of non-Markovianity in discrete and continuous variable non-Markovian collision models.
We study a quantum walker on a one-dimensional lattice with a single defect site characterized by a phase. The spread and localization of discrete-time quantum walks starting at the impurity site are affected by the appearance of bound states and the ir reflection symmetry. We quantify the localization in terms of an effective localization length averaged over all eigenstates and an effective participation ratio after time evolution averaged over all initial states. We observe that the reduced coin system dynamics undergoes oscillations in the long-time limit, the frequencies of which are related to the unitary sublattice operator and the bound state quasi-energy differences. The oscillations give rise to non-Markovian evolution, which we quantify using the trace distance and entanglement based measures of non-Markovianity. Indeed, we reveal that the degree of the non-Markovian behavior is closely related to the emergence of bound states due to the phase impurity. We also show that the considered measures give qualitatively different results depending on the number and symmetries of supported bound states. Finally, comparing localization and non-Markovianity measures, we demonstrate that the degree of non-Markovianity becomes maximum when the walker is most localized in position space.
We study the effect of thermal fluctuations on a probe qubit interacting with a Bose-Einstein condensed (BEC) reservoir. The zero-temperature case was studied in [Haikka P et al 2011 Phys. Rev. A 84 031602], where we proposed a method to probe the ef fects of dimensionality and scattering length of a BEC based on its behavior as an environment. Here we show that the sensitivity of the probe qubit is remarkably robust against thermal noise. We give an intuitive explanation for the thermal resilience, showing that it is due to the unique choice of the probe qubit architecture of our model.
