Energy backflow and non-Markovian dynamics / G. Guarnieri, C. Uchiyama, B. Vacchini. - In: PHYSICAL REVIEW A. - ISSN 2469-9926. - 93:1(2016 Jan 22), pp. 012118.1-012118.10. [10.1103/PhysRevA.93.012118]
Abstract:
We explore the behavior in time of the energy exchange between a system of interest and its environment, together with its relationship to the non-Markovianity of the system dynamics. In order to evaluate the energy exchange we rely on the full counting statistics formalism, which we use to evaluate the first moment of its probability distribution. We focus in particular on the energy backflow from environment to system, to which we associate a suitable condition and quantifier, which enables us to draw a connection with a recently introduced notion of non-Markovianity based on information backflow. This quantifier is then studied in detail in the case of the spin-boson model, described within a second-order time-convolutionless approximation, observing that non-Markovianity allows for the observation of energy backflow. This analysis allows us to identify the parameters region in which energy backflow is higher.
