Entropic and trace-distance-based measures of non-Markovianity

F Settimo, HP Breuer, B Vacchini - Physical Review A, 2022 - APS
We analyze and compare different measures for the degree of non-Markovianity in the
dynamics of open quantum systems. These measures are based on the distinguishability of …

Entropic bounds on information backflow

N Megier, A Smirne, B Vacchini - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
In the dynamics of open quantum systems, the backflow of information to the reduced system
under study has been suggested as the actual physical mechanism inducing memory and …

Generalized master equations leading to completely positive dynamics

B Vacchini - Physical Review Letters, 2016 - APS
We provide a general construction of quantum generalized master equations with a memory
kernel leading to well-defined, that is, completely positive and trace-preserving, time …

Thermodynamic roles of quantum environments: from heat baths to work reservoirs

A Colla, HP Breuer - Quantum Science and Technology, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
Environments in quantum thermodynamics usually take the role of heat baths. These baths
are Markovian, weakly coupled to the system, and initialized in a thermal state. Whenever …
