• Abstract: Linear optics provides versatile means to simulate and control the dynamics of open quantum systems. Here, the polarization and frequency of photons often represent the system and its environment, respectively. Recently, the photon's path degree of freedom and the effects of interference have been considered as well, giving rise to the concept of "open system interference". Such models have been shown to beat traditional parameter estimation schemes in certain scenarios. In this work, we study the sensitivity of non-Markovian memory effects arising from an open system Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Our protocol provides an alternative way to get around the quantum Cram\'er-Rao theorem, proving itself a noteworthy option for more conventional parameter estimation protocols.

  We show how strong coupling and memory effects influence the energy levels of open quantum systems. Measurements reveal a time-dependent shift in the system's energy levels of up to 15% of the bare system frequency. Our findings provide direct evidence of dynamic energy level renormalisation in strongly coupled open quantum systems.

The link between the peaked structure of the effective decay rate of the qubit that interacts indirectly with the environment, and the onset of the quantum Zeno effect is discussed in great detail. Our treatment and results have revealed an intricate interplay between non-Markovian dynamics, quantum Zeno effect and non-Hermitian physics.

• Interferometric Approach to Open Quantum Systems and Non-Markovian Dynamics [0.0]
  We combine the dynamics of open quantum systems with interferometry and interference introducing the concept of open system interferometer. By considering a single photon in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, we theoretically show how inside the interferometer path-wise polarization dephasing dynamics is Markovian. Outside the interferometer, the open system displays rich dynamical features with distinct alternatives.
