Mean-Correlation Reconstruction of Forward Dissipation and Non-Markovian Reverse Flow in a Trajectory-Resolved Thermo-Field Two-Spin Model

We develop a trajectory-resolved extension of the thermo-field entanglement description for a minimal dissipative two-spin system. For the isolated exchange-coupled model, the intrinsic thermo-field entanglement coefficient is $b_0(t)=\frac14\sin^2(ωt)$. We promote the corresponding open-system coefficient to a stochastic trajectory observable, $b_{qe}^{(ξ)}(t)=b_0(t)X_t$, where the binary variable $X_t$ specifies whether the trajectory occupies the one-excitation entangling sector or the decayed sector. For a bidirectional time-local jump process $1\xrightarrow{a(t)}0$ and $0\xrightarrow{b(t)}1$, we derive an exact two-time connected correlation function, \[ C_{qe}(t,s)=b_0(t)b_0(s)S(s)[1-S(s)] \exp\!\left[-\int_s^t(a(u)+b(u))\,du\right], \qquad t\ge s, \] where $S(t)=\langle X_t\rangle$. The one-time mean determines the net probability current, $\dot S=J_R-J_F$, whereas the normalized two-time correlation determines the rate sum, $a+b$. Combining the two quantities yields an exact reconstruction of the forward and reverse currents, \[ J_F=S(1-S)q-S\dot S,\qquad J_R=S(1-S)q+(1-S)\dot S, \] with $q=-\partial_t\ln[C_{qe}(t,s)/b_0(t)]$. This leads to a three-current decomposition of the mean thermo-field entanglement dynamics into coherent generation, dissipative loss, and memory-induced return. For Markovian amplitude damping the reconstruction gives $J_R=0$, while in a pure non-Markovian revival interval it gives $J_F=0$ and $J_R=\dot S>0$. The result shows that the mean alone measures only net backflow, whereas mean plus two-time fluctuations resolves hidden bidirectional traffic between system and environment.

Impulsively Driven Fractional Relaxation: Exact Response, Scaling Laws, Frequency-Domain Signatures, and Memory-Induced Crossover Structures

We investigate periodically impulsive fractional relaxation as a minimal model of nonlocal dissipative dynamics under repeated external stimulation. The free relaxation law is classical, but the driven problem introduces an additional timescale whose competition with the intrinsic fractional-memory scale generates nontrivial accumulation and crossover behavior. We derive the exact Laplace-domain and time-domain responses, establish the sparse-forcing scaling of the long-time averaged response, and obtain an analytical crossover interval proportional to the inverse fractional power of the relaxation coefficient. To separate established properties of Mittag--Leffler relaxation from the new effects of forcing, we explicitly compare the unforced, impulsive, and periodically driven settings. Extended long-time simulations verify the algebraic tail, while an independent L1 discretization provides a numerical benchmark for the exact solution. We further connect the relaxation kernel to measurable frequency-domain quantities through the Cole--Cole complex susceptibility and discuss interpretations in dielectric and viscoelastic relaxation, anomalous transport, non-Markovian open systems, and intermittent reinforcement. The resulting framework supplies an analytically solvable reference model for memory accumulation under repeated driving. The present analytical framework therefore provides a bridge between fractional relaxation theory and experimentally accessible time- and frequency-domain observables.

Relative Entropy Revivals Caused by Memory-Induced Loss of Divisibility in Classical Non-Markovian Dynamics

Relative-entropy revivals and negative entropy-production rates are established signatures of memory effects in non-Markovian dynamics. The present paper addresses a more specific question: what minimal dynamical mechanism produces entropy overshoot in classical stochastic relaxation? We define entropy overshoot as a transient increase of the Kullback--Leibler divergence from a stationary distribution during a relaxation process that ultimately returns to equilibrium. Starting from finite-state generalized master equations with memory kernels, we analyze the effective time-local generator governing the observed dynamics. The standard monotonic decay of relative entropy is recalled as a reference property of reversible Markov dynamics. We then show that memory can destroy stochastic divisibility by producing transiently negative effective rates. Once the evolution ceases to be divisible into intermediate Markov steps, the usual relative-entropy contraction argument no longer applies, and entropy overshoot can occur. The contribution of the paper is therefore not the introduction of another witness of non-Markovianity, but the identification of a minimal structural mechanism and its phase structure. The mechanism is illustrated with two- and three-state stochastic models, where the competition between the intrinsic relaxation time and the memory time separates monotonic relaxation from overshoot. Numerical phase diagrams show that the overshoot region expands when memory persists on the relaxation timescale. These results clarify the relation between classical information backflow, negative entropy-rate behavior, and memory-induced loss of divisibility. They also distinguish the present mechanism-based interpretation from previous work that used relative-entropy revivals or entropy-production rates primarily as indicators of non-Markovianity.

Map-Dependent Quantum Characteristic Functions and CP-Divisibility in Non-Markovian Quantum Dynamics

We introduce map-dependent quantum characteristic functions constructed from the normalized Choi operator of quantum dynamical maps. We prove a Bochner--Choi positivity theorem establishing that the positive-type condition of the associated Gram matrix is equivalent to complete positivity of the underlying quantum channel. Applying the construction to intermediate dynamical maps, we obtain a characterization of CP-divisibility in terms of positivity of two-time characteristic functions. Numerical examples for amplitude damping and pure dephasing models demonstrate that negativity of the Gram matrix coincides with the breakdown of CP-divisibility and the emergence of information backflow. The proposed framework provides a new bridge between characteristic-function methods in quantum statistics and structural properties of quantum dynamical maps.

Zeeman effects on the entanglement of non-equilibrium finite-spin systems

We study the Zeeman effect on entanglement of non-equilibrium finite-spin systems with external fields using a method based on thermofield dynamics (TFD). For this purpose, the extended density matrices and extended entanglement entropies of two systems with either non-competing or competing external fields are calculated according to the dissipative von Neumann equation, and the numerical results are compared. Consequently, through the "twin-peaks" oscillations of the quantum entanglement, we have illustrated the Zeeman effect on the entanglement of non-equilibrium finite-spin systems with competing external fields in the TFD algorithm.

Entanglement entropies of coupled harmonic oscillators

We investigate the quantum entanglement of systems of coupled harmonic oscillators on the basis of thermo-field dynamics (TFD). For coupled harmonic oscillators at equilibrium, the extended entanglement entropy is derived using the TFD method, and it is demonstrated to be controlled by temperature and coupling parameters. For non-equilibrium systems, in addition to temperature and coupling parameters, the time dependence of the extended entanglement entropy is calculated in accordance with the dissipative von Neumann equation, and the dissipative dynamics of the systems of coupled harmonic oscillators is discussed. Consequently, based on TFD, the physical parametrization of the entanglement entropies is confirmed in both the equilibrium and non-equilibrium cases of harmonic oscillator systems by means of the laws of thermodynamics.

Dissipative dynamics of entangled finite-spin systems with non-competitive external fields

We apply a new method based upon thermofield dynamics (TFD) to study entanglement of finite-spin systems with non-competitive external fields for both equilibrium and non-equilibrium cases. For the equilibrium finite-spin systems, the temperature dependence of the extended density matrices is derived using this method, and the effect of non-competitive external field is demonstrated. For the non-equilibrium finite-spin systems, the time dependence of the extended density matrices and the extended entanglement entropies is derived in accordance with von Noumann equation, and the dissipative dynamics of the finite-spin systems is argued. Consequently, the applicability of the TFD-based method to describe entanglement is confirmed in both equilibrium and non-equilibrium cases with the external fieds.

Entanglement Entropies of Non-Equilibrium Finite-Spin Systems

For the purpose of clarifying a new approach to understanding quantum entanglement using thermofield dynamics (TFD), entanglement entropies of non-equilibrium finite-spin systems are examined for both traditional and extended cases. The extended entanglement entropy, $\hat{S}$, is derived, and it is found that the conditions for the maximum entangled state can be obtained through this approach. The capacity of the TFD-based method to distinguish between states in quantum systems is confirmed.
