We have recently presented a collision-model-based framework to approach non-Markovian quantum dynamics [Ciccarello F Palma G M and Giovannetti V 2013 Phys. Rev. A 87, 040103(R)]. As a distinctive feature, memory is introduced in a…

Memoryless (Markovian) system-bath interactions are of fundamental interest in physics. While typically, the absence of memory originates from the characteristics of the bath, here we demonstrate that it can result from the system becoming…
