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…

Coarse graining techniques offer a promising alternative to large-scale simulations of complex dynamical systems, as long as the coarse-grained system is truly representative of the initial one. Here, we investigate how the dynamical…

Due to the wide range of timescales that are present in macromolecular systems, hierarchical multiscale strategies are necessary for their computational study. Coarse-graining (CG) allows to establish a link between different system…

Suppose we have a pair of information channels, $\kappa_{1},\kappa_{2}$, with a common input. The Blackwell order is a partial order over channels that compares $\kappa_{1}$ and $\kappa_{2}$ by the maximal expected utility an agent can…
