Abstract
The are several non-equivalent notions of Markovian quantum evolution. In this paper we show that the one based on the so-called CP-divisibility of the corresponding dynamical map enjoys the following stability property: the dynamical map is CP-divisible iff the second tensor power is CP-divisible as well. Moreover, the P-divisibility of the map is equivalent to the CP-divisibility of the map . Interestingly, the latter property is no longer true if we replace the P-divisibility of by simple positivity and the CP-divisibility of by complete positivity. That is, unlike when has a time-independent generator, positivity of does not imply complete positivity of .
