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…
Dissipative quantum systems are sometimes phenomenologically described in terms of a non-hermitian hamiltonian $H$, with different left and right eigenvectors forming a bi-orthogonal basis. It is shown that the dynamics of waves in open…
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…
Using a newly introduced connection between the local and non-local description of open quantum system dynamics, we investigate the relationship between these two characterisations in the case of quantum semi-Markov processes. This class of…
Nanoscale devices - either biological or artificial - operate in a regime where the usual assumptions of a structureless, Markovian, bath do not hold. Being able to predict and study the dynamics of such systems is crucial and is usually…
We address the dynamics of quantum correlations for a bipartite continuous-variable quantum system interacting with its fluctuating environment. In particular, we consider two independent quantum oscillators initially prepared in a Gaussian…
We construct a non-Markovian canonical dynamical map that accounts for systems correlated with the environment. The physical meaning of not completely positive maps is studied to obtain a theory of non-Markovian quantum dynamics. The…
In this study, we address the challenge of controlling quantum systems under environmental influences using the theory of dynamical invariants. We employ a reverse engineering approach to develop control protocols designed to be robust…
We investigate the performance of quantum parameter estimation based on a qubit probe in a dissipative bosonic environment beyond the traditional paradigm of weak-coupling and rotating-wave approximations. By making use of an exactly…
Non-Markovianty of open quantum systems dynamics is a physically relevant property which is usually associated with the backflow of (quantum) information. Using this paradigmatic marker, we develop an operational framework to investigate…
We study the critical behavior of the nonequilibrium dynamics and of the steady states emerging from the competition between coherent and dissipative dynamics close to quantum phase transitions. The latter is induced by the coupling of the…
We study the dynamics of a quantum system $\Gamma$ with an environment $\Xi$ made of $N$ elementary quantum components. We aim at answering the following questions: can the evolution of $\Gamma$ be characterized by some general features…
Every quantum system is coupled to an environment. Such system-environment interaction leads to temporal correlation between quantum operations at different times, resulting in non-Markovian noise. In principle, a full characterisation of…
The information encoded into an open quantum system that evolves under a Markovian dynamics is always monotonically non-increasing. Nonetheless, for a given quantifier of the information contained in the system, it is in general not clear…
Quantum sensors offer exceptional sensitivity to nanoscale magnetic fluctuations, where non-stationary effects -- such as spin diffusion -- and non-Markovian dynamics arising from coupling to few environmental degrees of freedom play…
In this paper we demonstrate how to generate the strong-coupling master equations for open quantum systems of continuous variables. These are the dissipative master equations of quantum Brownian particles for which the environmental noise…
We study non-Markovianity as backflow of information in two-qubit systems. We consider a setting where, by changing the distance between the qubits, one can interpolate between independent reservoir and common reservoir scenarios. We…
Quantum memory effects can be induced even when the degrees of freedom associated to the environment are not affected at all during the system evolution. In this paper, based on a bipartite representation of the system-environment dynamics,…
Established methods for characterizing quantum information processes do not capture non-Markovian (history-dependent) behaviors that occur in real systems. These methods model a quantum process as a fixed map on the state space of a…
Dissipative phase transitions in quantum systems have been largely studied under the so-called Markovian approximation, where the environments to which the systems are coupled are memoryless. Here, we present a generalization of the…
