We argue that instantaneously-vanishing quantum discord provides a necessary and sufficient condition for Markovianity of a quantum map. This is used to introduce a measure of non-Markovianity. This measure, however, requires demanding knowledge about the system and the environment. By using a quantum correlation monogamy property and an ancillary system, we propose a simplified measure with less requirements. Non-Markovianity is thereby decided by quantum state tomography of the system and the ancilla.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2012-05-18T07:48:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03.65.Ud", "03.65.Yz", "03.67.Bg", "03.67.Mn" ], "keywords": [ "quantum dynamics", "non-markovianity", "quantum correlation monogamy property", "quantum state tomography", "analyzing quantum correlations" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review A", "year": 2012, "month": "May", "volume": 85, "number": 5, "pages": "052108" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012PhRvA..85e2108A" } } }
