We provide a toy model to show that these two measures need not agree. In addition, we discuss possible generalizations and intricate relations between these measures.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-03-24T22:05:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03.65.Yz", "03.65.Ta", "42.50.Lc" ], "keywords": [ "divisibility", "non-markovianity", "information", "intricate relations", "toy model" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review A", "year": 2011, "month": "May", "volume": 83, "number": 5, "pages": "052128" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011PhRvA..83e2128C" } } }
