Exploring the Non-Markovian Dynamics in Depolarizing Maps

Abstract

The non-Markovian depolarizing channel is explored from the perspective of understanding its non-Markovian behaviour 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, BLP, RHP and HCLA 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, of the depolarizing channel, 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.
