Quantifying quantum non-Markovianity based on two kinds of coherence measures (Q2142628)

Non-Markovianity measures of open quantum systems are given based on two kinds of quantum coherence measures, which are defined via norms and fidelity, respectively. The authors applied these non-Markovianity measures to find the conditions for the occurrence of non-Markovian processes in a single-qubit state under three typical noisy channels: phase damping channel, amplitude damping channel and random unitary channel. For the phase damping channel and the amplitude damping channel, the conditions are the same as those given by known methods, such as quantum trace distance, dynamical divisibility, and quantum mutual information, whereas in the random unitary channel, new and incompletely equivalent conditions are presented. The study of quantum Non-Markovianity via correlations dates back to 2010s. Since the framework of quantum coherence was proposed, the study of quantum Non-Markovianity via coherence has attracted much attention. The results of this paper are new and interesting, which shed some new light on Non-Markovianity measures of open quantum systems.
