It is common, when dealing with quantum processes involving a subsystem of a much larger composite closed system, to treat them as effectively memory-less (Markovian). While open systems theory tells us that non-Markovian processes should…
Non-Markovianty of open quantum systems dynamics is a physically relevant property which is usually associated with the backflow of (quantum) information. Using this paradigmatic marker, we develop an operational framework to investigate…
