Abstract

We consider a bipartite quantum system SS (including parties AA and BB), interacting with an environment EE through a localized quantum dynamics FSE\mathcal{F}_{SE} . We call a quantum dynamics FSE\mathcal{F}_{SE} localized if, e.g., the party AA is isolated from the environment and only BB interacts with the environment: FSE=idAFBE\mathcal{F}_{SE}=id_{A}\otimes \mathcal{F}_{BE}, where idAid_{A} is the identity map on the part AA and FBE\mathcal{F}_{BE} is a completely positive (CP) map on the both BB and EE. We will show that the reduced dynamics of the system is also localized as ES=idAEˉB\mathcal{E}_{S}=id_{A}\otimes \bar{\mathcal{E}}_{B}, where EˉB\bar{\mathcal{E}}_{B} is a CP map on BB, if and only if the initial state of the system-environment is a Markov state. We then generalize this result to the two following cases: when both AA and BB interact with a same environment, and when each party interacts with its local environment.
