Dynamics of a system in general depends on its initial state and how the system is driven, but in many-body systems the memory is usually averaged out during evolution. Here, interacting quantum systems without external relaxations are…
We consider nonequilibrium transport in a simple chain of identical mechanical cells in which particles move around. In each cell, there is a rotating disc, with which these particles interact, and this is the only interaction in the model.…

Single-molecule magnets weakly coupled to two ferromagnetic leads act as memory devices in electronic circuits---their response depends on history, not just on the instantaneous applied voltage. We show that magnetic anisotropy introduces a…
The single-spin memory effect is considered within a minimal polaron model describing a single-level quantum dot interacting with a vibron and weakly coupled to ferromagnetic leads. We show that in the case of strong electron-vibron and…
