We investigate a quantum metrological protocol operating in a non-Markovian environment by employing the quantum Brownian motion (QBM) model, in which the system is linearly coupled to a reservoir of harmonic oscillators. Specifically, we…

Relaxation towards equilibrium is often assumed to be slower when a system starts farther from equilibrium, but this intuition fails in the Mpemba effect. Recent advances in controllable quantum platforms have enabled the exploration of its…
