Non-Markovian Open Quantum Systems

Understand

We construct a non-Markovian canonical dynamical map that accounts for systems correlated with the environment.

• The physical meaning of not completely positive maps is studied to obtain a theory of non-Markovian quantum dynamics.
• The relationship between inverse maps and correlations with the environment is established.
• A generalized non-Markovian master equation is derived from the canonical dynamical map that goes beyond the Kossakowski-Lindblad Markovian master equation.
