We consider a simple microscopic model where the open-system dynamics of a qubit, despite being Markovian, shows features which are typically associated to the presence of memory effects. Namely, a non monotonic behavior both in the…

Decoherence in Markovian systems can result indirectly from the action of a system Hamiltonian which is usually fixed and unavoidable. Here, we show that in general in Markovian systems, because of the system Hamiltonian, quantum…
Non-Markovian processes may arise in physics due to memory effects of environmental degrees of freedom. For quantum non-Markovianity, it is an ongoing debate to clarify whether such memory effects have a verifiable quantum origin, or…
We address the problem of quantifying the non-Markovian character of quantum time-evolutions of general systems in contact with an environment. We introduce two different measures of non-Markovianity that exploit the specific traits of…
Recently we pointed out the so-called Local Time Scheme as a novel approach to quantum foundations that solves the preferred pointer-basis problem. In this paper we introduce and analyze in depth a rather non-standard dynamical map that is…
We consider a two-level open quantum system undergoing either pure dephasing, dissipative, or multiply decohering dynamics and show that, whenever the dynamics is non-Markovian, the initial speed of evolution is a monotonic function of the…
We critically evaluate the most widespread assumption in the theoretical description of coherent control strategies for open quantum systems. We show that, for non-Markovian open systems dynamics, this fixed-dissipator assumption leads to a…
