Complexity and Information in Quantum and Classical Trajectories
We analyze emission trajectories from a driven-dissipative two-qubit system and a classical telegraph model with matched rates. Using Lempel-Ziv complexity, mutual information, and temporal correlations, we show that both models undergo a transition from independent to synchronized dynamics as coupling increases, but only the quantum trajectories develop enhanced complexity and sustained information sharing at large drive-to-decay ratio. Classical correlations are short-lived and quickly suppressed by strong drive. A strong complexity-information correlation appears uniquely in the quantum case, providing a clear trajectory-level signature of quantum effects. These results show that complexity and information measures extracted directly from jump records provide an efficient way to distinguish quantum and classical dynamics in open systems.
