It uses only linear optics elements and by controlling the system parameters allows one to control the presence or absence of information backflow from the environment. A sufficient and necessary condition for the non-Markovianity of our channel based on Gaussian inputs is proved. Various criterions of detecting non-Markovianity are also investigated by checking the dynamical evolution of the channel.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-11-25T18:42:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03.65.Yz", "03.67.-a", "42.50.Lc" ], "keywords": [ "all-optical non-markovian stroboscopic quantum simulator", "linear optics elements", "gaussian inputs", "quantum system", "simulating non-markovian evolution" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1103/PhysRevA.91.012122", "journal": "Physical Review A", "year": 2015, "month": "Jan", "volume": 91, "number": 1, "pages": "012122" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015PhRvA..91a2122J" } } }
