Conditional past-future correlation induced by non-Markovian dephasing reservoirs
arXiv:1903.05259 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.99.052125
Abstract
Memory effects can be studied through a conditional past-future correlation, which measures departure with respect to a conditional past-future independence valid in a memoryless Markovian regime. In a quantum regime this property leads to an operational definition of quantum non-Markovianity based on three consecutive system measurement processes and postselection [Budini, Phys. Rev. Lett. 121, 240401 (2018)]. Here, we study the conditional past-future correlation for a qubit system coupled to different dephasing environments. Exact solutions are obtained for a quantum spin bath as well as for classically fluctuating random Hamiltonian models. The developing of memory effects and departures from Born-Markov or white-noise approximations are related to a measurement back action that changes the system dynamics between consecutive measurements. It is shown that this effect may develop even when the former system evolution is given by a time-independent Lindblad equation. This unusual non-Markovian case arises when the characteristic parameters of the dynamics become Lorentzian random distributed variables.
