Realistic quantum mechanical systems are always exposed to an external environment. The presence of the environment often gives rise to a Markovian process in which the system loses information to its surroundings. However, many quantum…

Accurate and efficient simulation of open quantum systems remains a significant challenge, particularly for Non-Markovian dynamics. We demonstrate the profound utility of expressing the environmental correlation function as a sum of damped…

We propose a simple criterion for non-Markovianity: a quantum master equation is non-Markovian if and only if its \textit{trajectory set} contains a \textit{self-intersecting trajectory} (defined in the main text). Since self-intersection…

Non-Markovian effects in quantum evolution appear when the system is strongly coupled to the environment and interacts with it for long periods of time. To include memory effects in the master equations, one usually incorporates time-local…

A post-Markovian master equation has been recently proposed as a tool to describe the evolution of a system coupled to a memory-keeping environment [A. Shabani and D. A. Lidar, Phys. Rev. A 71, 020101 (R) (2005)]. For a single qubit…
