Exploring the Non-Markovian Dynamics in Depolarizing Maps

Abstract

The non-Markovian depolarizing channel is explored from the perspective of understanding its non-Markovian behavior as well as the occurrence of singularities. The study brings together the various ways to identify and quantify non-Markovianity. This includes dynamical techniques such as quantum information backflow witness, Breuer-Laine-Piilo, Rivas-Huelga-Plenio and Hall- Cresser-Li-Andersson measures. In addition, geometrical visualization of non-Markovian effects is presented using the variation in the volume of accessible states during dynamical evolution. Further, a trajectory-based visualization of the dynamical map within the parameter space is presented. The trajectories traced during evolution demonstrate the loss of CP divisibility and the emergence of non-Markovianity under systematic variations of the system parameters. The effects of increasing system dimensions and qubit numbers on singularity and non-Markovianity are presented, with an extension of characterization techniques to higher-dimensional systems.
