We study how non-Markovianity of an open two-level system can be detected when continuously monitoring a part of its bosonic environment. Considering a physical scenario of an atom in a lossy cavity, we demonstrate that the properties of…
The exact dynamics of a system coupled to an environment can be described by an integro-differential stochastic equation of its reduced density. The influence of the environment is incorporated through a mean-field which is both stochastic…

Open system dynamics in a classical setting is microscopically governed by the structure of the thermal environment which influences the dynamics of the probe particle (free or in an external potential). Nonlinear baths have recently been…
We investigate the conditions under which the trace distance between two different states of a given open system increases in time due to the interaction with an environment, therefore signalling non-Markovianity. We find that the…
We review the most recent developments in the theory of open quantum systems focusing on situations in which the reservoir memory effects, due to long-lasting and non-negligible correlations between system and environment, play a crucial…
An important challenge in non-Markovian open quantum systems is to understand what information we gain from continuous measurement of an output field. For example, atoms in multimode cavity QED systems provide an exciting platform to study…
We consider two qubits interacting with a common bosonic bath, but not directly between themselves. We derive the (bipartite) entanglement generation conditions for Gaussian non-Markovian dynamical maps and show that they are similar as in…
Non-Markovianity may significantly speed up quantum dynamics when the system interacts strongly with an infinite large reservoir, of which the coupling spectrum should be fine-tuned. The potential benefits are evident in many dynamics…
Entropy production plays a fundamental role in nonequilibrium thermodynamics to quantify the irreversibility of open systems. Its positivity can be ensured for a wide class of setups, but the entropy production rate can become negative…
We derive the exact out-of-equilibrium Wigner function of a bosonic mode linearly coupled to a bosonic bath of arbitrary spectral density. Our solution does not rely on any master equation approach and it therefore also correctly describes…
Non-Markovian dynamics of two interacting two-level qubits coupled to a bosonic bath was previously studied using the quantum-state-diffusion (QSD) equation, where a stochastic state is used to describe the system. In this study, we provide…
It is known that the origin of the deviations from standard thermodynamics proceed from the strong coupling to the bath. Here, it is shown that these deviations are related to the power spectrum of the bath. Specifically, it is shown that…
We consider the dynamics of a collisional model in which both the system and environment are embodied by spin-$1/2$ particles. In order to include non-Markovian features in our model we introduce interactions among the environmental qubits…
We show that non-Markovian open quantum systems can exhibit exact Markovian dynamics up to an arbitrarily long time; the non-Markovianity of such systems is thus perfectly "hidden", i.e. not experimentally detectable by looking at the…
We investigate memory effects in the spin-boson model using a recently proposed measure for non-Markovian behavior based on the information exchange between an open system and its environment. Employing the numerical exact multilayer…
We present a detailed study of the dynamics of correlations in non-Markovian environments, applying the hierarchy equations approach. This theoretical treatment is able to take the system-bath interaction into consideration carefully. It is…
We study nonclassical effects in the dynamics of an open quantum system. The model involves a harmonic oscillator coupled to a reservoir of non-interacting harmonic oscillators. Different system-bath interaction schemes as well as reservoir…
