Quantifying environment non-classicality in dissipative open quantum dynamics

Abstract

Open quantum systems are inherently coupled to their environments, which in turn also obey quantum dynamical rules. By restricting to dissipative dynamics, here we propose a measure that quantifies how far the environment action on a system departs from the influence of classical noise fluctuations. It relies on the lack of commutativity between the initial reservoir state and the system-environment total Hamiltonian. Independently of the nature of the dissipative system evolution, Markovian or non-Markovian, the measure can be written in terms of the dual propagator that defines the evolution of system operators. The physical meaning and properties of the proposed definition are discussed in detail and also characterized through different paradigmatic dissipative Markovian and non-Markovian open quantum dynamics.
