• Abstract: The exchange of information between an open quantum system and its environment allows us to discriminate among different kinds of dynamics, in particular detecting memory effects to characterize non-Markovianity. Here, we investigate the role played by the system-environment correlations and the environmental evolution in the flow of information. First, we derive general conditions ensuring that two generalized dephasing microscopic models of the global system-environment evolution result exactly in the same open-system dynamics, for any initial state of the system. Then, we use the trace distance to quantify the distinct contributions to the information inside and outside the open system in the two models. Our analysis clarifies how the interplay between system-environment correlations and environmental-state distinguishability can lead to the same information flow from and toward the open system, despite significant qualitative and quantitative differences at the level of the global evolution.

  We show that in Gaussian Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) systems, the system parameters can be identified by introducing diverse intervention signals. We show that Hidden Markov Models, in general, and (Gaussian) LTI systems, fulfil a generalization of the Causal de Finetti theorem with continuous parameters.

We show that when the system shows a Darwinistic behavior system information that is initially localized in the environment is not scrambled, while when Darwinism disappears scrambling occurs.

  We analyze and compare how this concept is interpreted and implemented in different approaches to quantum non-Markovianity. We study a non-operational approach, defined by the istinguishability between two system states. We study a non-Markovian depolarizing map induced by the interaction of the system of interest with an environment characterized by incoherent and coherent self-dynamics.

General properties of the resulting dynamics are studied with focus on the system-environment correlations, a collisional measurement-based representation, and the quantum regression hypothesis.
