Abstract: The eternally non-Markovian (ENM) Pauli channel is an example of a unital channel characterized by a negative decay rate for all time $t>0$. Here we consider the problem of constructing an analogous non-unital channel, and show that in particular the qubit generalized amplitude damping (GAD) channel cannot be ENM. We construct a quasi-ENM GAD channel, characterized by a time $t^{a}st>0$, such that the channel is non-Markovian only and for all time $t>t^{a}st$. We point out that the impossibility of the ENM property does not hold for a general qubit or higher-dimensional non-unital channel.

Recommendations

• A class of quasi-eternal non-Markovian Pauli channels and their measure
• Assessing non-Markovian quantum dynamics.
• Quantum evolution with a large number of negative decoherence rates
• Simple non-Markovian microscopic models for the depolarizing channel of a single qubit
• Decoherence of quantum information in the non-Markovian qubit channel
