Holevo skew divergence for the characterization of information backflow / A. Smirne, N. Megier, B.M. Vacchini. - In: PHYSICAL REVIEW A. - ISSN 2469-9926. - 106:1(2022), pp. 012205.012205-1-012205.012205-12. [10.1103/PhysRevA.106.012205]
Abstract:
The interpretation of non-Markovian effects as due to the information exchange between an open quantum system and its environment has been recently formulated in terms of properly regularized entropic quantities, as their revivals in time can be upper bounded by means of quantities describing the storage of information outside the open system [N. Megier et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 127, 030401 (2021)]. Here we elaborate on the wider mathematical framework of the theory, specifying the key properties that allow us to associate distinguishability quantifiers with the information flow from and toward the open system. We point to the Holevo quantity as a distinguished quantum divergence to which the formalism can be applied and we show how several distinct quantifiers of non-Markovianity can be related to each other within this general framework. Finally, we apply our analysis to two relevant physical models in which an exact evaluation of all quantities can be performed.
