- Abstract: Echo protocols provide a means to investigate the arrow of time in
macroscopic processes. Starting from a nonequilibrium state, the many-body
quantum system under study is evolved for a certain period of time $\tau$.
Thereafter, an (effective) time reversal is performed that would -- if
implemented perfectly -- take the system back to the initial state after
another time period $\tau$. Typical examples are nuclear magnetic resonance
imaging and polarization echo experiments. The presence of small, uncontrolled
inaccuracies during the backward propagation results in deviations of the "echo
signal" from the original evolution, and can be exploited to quantify the
instability of nonequilibrium states and the irreversibility of the dynamics.
We derive an analytic prediction for the typical dependence of this echo signal
for macroscopic observables on the magnitude of the inaccuracies and on the
duration $\tau$ of the process, and verify it in numerical examples.

with no-knowledge measurement [0.0]
The no-knowledge quantum feedback was proposed as a measurement-based feedback protocol for decoherence suppression for an open quantum system.
We generalize the original work by analyzing non-Markovian average dynamics.
We find that, when the qubit's unitary dynamics does not commute with the measurement and feedback controls, the decoherence rate can be either suppressed or amplified, depending on the delay time.

In the quantum Zeno effect, quantum measurements can block the coherent oscillation of a two level system by freezing its state to one of the measurement eigenstates.
We show that the onset of the Zeno regime is marked by a $textitcascade of transitions$ in the system dynamics as the measurement strength is increased.

We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront.
The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
