• Abstract: We investigate the irreversible entropy production of a qubit in contact with an environment modelled by a microscopic collision model both in Markovian and non-Markovian regimes. Our main goal is to contribute to the discussions on the relationship between non-Markovian dynamics and negative entropy production rates. We employ two different types of collision models that do or do not keep the correlations established between the system and the incoming environmental particle, while both of them pertain to their non-Markovian nature through information backflow from the environment to the system. We observe that as the former model, where the correlations between the system and environment is preserved, gives rise to negative entropy production rates in the transient dynamics, the latter one always maintains positive rates, even though the convergence to the steady-state value is slower as compared to the corresponding Markovian dynamics. Our results suggest that the mechanism underpinning the negative entropy production rates is not solely non-Markovianity through information backflow, but rather the contribution to it through established system-environment correlations.

  We develop a field-theoretical framework that provides a unified approach to observables characterizing entanglement and charge fluctuations. Within this framework, we derive a replicated Keldysh non-linear sigma model (NLSM) By using the renormalization-group approach for the NLSM, we determine the phase diagram and the scaling of physical observables.

• Tunable non-Markovian dynamics in a collision model: an application to coherent transport [0.0]
  We propose a collision model to investigate the information dynamics of a system coupled to an environment with varying degrees of non-Markovianity. We control the degree of non-Markovianity by applying a depolarising channel to a fixed and rigid reservoir of qubits. We show how the system-environment coupling strength and the degree of non-Markovianity affect the process.

  Model-induced distribution shifts (MIDS) occur as previous model outputs pollute new model training sets over generations of models. We introduce a framework that allows us to track multiple MIDS over many generations, finding that they can lead to loss in performance, fairness, and minoritized group representation. Despite these negative consequences, we identify how models might be used for positive, intentional, interventions in their data ecosystems.

• Correlations, information backflow, and objectivity in a class of pure dephasing models [0.0]
  We critically examine the role that correlations established between a system and fragments of its environment play in characterising the ensuing dynamics. We employ a class of dephasing models where the state of the initial environment represents a tunable degree of freedom that qualitatively and quantitatively affects the correlation profiles. We demonstrate that for precisely the same non-Markovian reduced dynamics of the system arising from different microscopic models, some will exhibit quantum Darwinistic features, while others show no meaningful notion of classical objectivity is present.

  We show that non-Markovianity is highly detrimental for the emergence of synchronization, for the latter can be delayed and hindered because of the presence of information backflow. The results are obtained considering both a master equation approach and a collision model based on repeated interactions, which represents a very versatile tool to tailor the desired kind of environment.
