Polaron effects on the information backflow in Jaynes-Cummings model

We investigate the influence of phonon degrees of freedom on the qubit dynamics in Jaynes-Cummings (JC) model. A strong qubit-phonon coupling is considered giving rise to Jaynes-Cummings-Holstein (JCH) model. Under anti-adiabatic conditions, we perform a unitary transformation to make the underlying problem tractable through Redfield-type non-Markovian master equation. Analytical expression for the time-dependent coherence is obtained, incorporating both cavity-induced dissipation and phonon-induced dressing effects. The dynamics of JC model is highly non-Markovian for a narrow spectral width and finite detuning. However, a non-zero phonon coupling suppresses these non-Markovian features by effectively reducing the qubit-cavity interaction strength. {It is observed that polaronic dressing effectively supresses the detuning effects. Furthermore, the coherence-based non-Markovianity measure shows an order-of-magnitude suppression in the JCH model, indicating a new dynamical regime, while memory effects extend over a wider range of spectral densities than in the JC model.

Non-Markovian amplitude damping in a central spin model with random couplings

Non-Markovian dynamics is central to quantum information processing, as memory effects strongly influence coherence preservation, metrology, and communication. In this work, we investigate the role of stochastic system--bath couplings in shaping non-Markovian behavior of open quantum systems, using the central spin model within a time-convolutionless master equation framework. We show that the character of the reduced dynamics depends jointly on the intrinsic memory of the environment and on the structure of the system--environment interaction. In certain regimes, the dynamics simplify to pure dephasing, while in general both amplitude damping and dephasing contribute to the evolution. By employing two complementary measures: the Quantum Fisher Information (QFI) flow and the Breuer--Laine--Piilo (BLP) measure, we demonstrate that QFI flow may fail to witness memory effects in weak-coupling and near-resonant regimes, whereas the BLP measure still detects information backflow. Furthermore, external modulation of the interaction kernel produces qualitatively richer behavior, including irregular and frequency-dependent revivals of non-Markovianity. These results clarify the physical origin of memory effects, highlight the limitations of single-witness approaches, and suggest that stochasticity and modulation can be harnessed to engineer robust, noise-resilient quantum technologies.

Analysis of memory effects in the dynamic evolution of the spin-boson model

Quantum information processing relies on how dynamics unfold in open quantum systems. In this work, we study the non-Markovian dynamics in the single mode spin-boson model at strong couplings. In order to apply perturbation theory, we transform our Hamiltonian to polaron frame, so that the effective system-bath coupling gets reduced. We employ coherence defined by l1-norm to analyze the non-Markovian effects in the spin-boson model. In the transformed frame of reference, the correlation timescales for the bath are significantly shorter than the system's relaxation timescale-a key assumption for Markovian dynamics. However, intriguingly, we demonstrate that under the large polaron theory, the reduced dynamics exhibit effective non-Markovian behaviour within a specific range of couplings, while remaining Markovian beyond this range.

Dissipative dynamics of an interacting spin system with collective damping

The competition between Hamiltonian and Lindblad dynamics in quantum systems give rise to non-equillibrium phenomena with no counter part in conventional condensed matter physics. In this paper, we investigate this interplay of dynamics in infinite range Heisenberg model coupled to a non-Markovian bath and subjected to Lindblad dynamics due to spin flipping at a given site. The spin model is bosonized via Holstein-Primakoff transformations and is shown to be valid for narrow range of parameters in the thermodynamic limit. Using Schwinger-Keldysh technique, we derive mean field solution of the model and observe that the system breaks $\mathcal{Z}_2$-symmetry at the transition point. We calculate effective temperature that has linear dependence on the effective system-bath coupling, and is independent of the dissipation rate and cutoff frequency of the bath spectral density. Furthermore, we study the fluctuations over mean field and show that the dissipative spectrum is modified by ${\rm O}(\frac{1}{N})$ correction term which results change in various physically measurable quantities.

Dephasing effects on quantum correlations and teleportation in presence of state dependent bath

Quantum information protocols are often designed in the ideal situation with no decoherence. However, in real setup, these protocols are subject to the decoherence and thus reducing fidelity of the measurement outcome. In this work, we analyze the effect of state dependent bath on the quantum correlations and the fidelity of a single qubit teleportation. We model our system-bath interaction as qubits interacting with a common bath of bosons, and the state dependence of the bath is generated through a projective measurement on the joint state in thermal equilibrium. The analytic expressions for the time evolution of entanglement, Negativity and average fidelity of quantum teleportation are calculated. It is shown that due to the presence of initial system-bath correlations, the system maintains quantum correlations for long times. Furthermore, due to the presence of finite long time entanglement of the quantum channel, the average fidelity is shown to be higher than its classical value.

Time evolution of quantum correlations in presence of state dependent bath

The emerging quantum technologies heavily rely on the understanding of dynamics in open quantum systems. In the Born approximation, the initial system-bath correlations are often neglected which can be violated in the strong coupling regimes and quantum state preparation. In order to understand the influence of initial system-bath correlations, we study the extent to which these initial correlations and the distance of separation between qubits influence the dynamics of quantum entanglement and coherence. It is shown that at low temperatures, the initial correlations have no role to play while at high temperatures, these correlations strongly influence the dynamics. Furthermore, we have shown that distance of separation between the qubits in presence of collective bath helps to maintain entanglement and coherence at long times.
