This memory effect drives the statistical distribution of the system out of the initial preparation, even if the system starts from an equilibrium state. This leads to the violation of the free energy relation. A possible way of eliminating this memory effect is proposed.展开更多

This model represents new version of the random oscillators. In this side, we derive the overdamped harmonic oscillator with multiplicative colored noise and translate it into the additive colored noise by changing the variables. The overdamped harmonic oscillator is stochastic differential equation driving by colored noise. We derive the change in the total entropy production (CTEP) of the model and calculate the mean and variance. We show the fluctuation theorem (FT) which is invalid at any order in the time correlation. The problem of the deriving of the CTEP is studied in two different examples of the harmonic potential. Finally, we give the conclusion and plan for future works.展开更多

By considering a qubit in contact with a critical Ising spin bath and introducing an ancilla, we show that revivals of negativity of quantumness indicate the non-Markovian dynamics.Furthermore, a normalized measure of non-Markovianity based on the negativity of quantumness is introduced and the influences of bath criticality, bath temperature and bath size on the non-Markovianity are discussed. It is shown that,at the critical point, the decay of non-Markovianity versus the size of spin bath is the fastest and the non-Markovianity is exactly zero only in the thermodynamic limit. Besides, non-trivial behaviours of negativity of quantumness such as sudden change, double sudden changes and keeping constant are found for different relations between parameters of the initial state. Finally, how the non-classicality of the system is affected by a series of bang-bang pulses is also examined.展开更多
