We also show that the most general type of classical-memory processes can be generated by a quantum circuit.

• Abstract: A central problem in the study of open quantum systems is the characterisation of non-Markovian processes, where an environment retains memory of its interaction with the system. A key distinction is whether or not this memory can be simulated classically, as this can lead to efficient modelling and noise mitigation. Powerful tools have been developed recently within the process matrix formalism, a framework that conveniently characterises all multi-time correlations through a sequence of measurements. This leads to a detailed classification of classical and quantum-memory processes and provides operational procedures to distinguish between them. However, these results leave open the question of what type of system-environment interactions lead to classical memory. More generally, process-matrix methods lack a direct connection to joint system-environment evolution, a cornerstone of open-system modelling. In this work, we characterise Hamiltonian and circuit-based models of system-environment interactions leading to classical memory. We show that general time-dependent Hamiltonians with product eigenstates, and where the environment's eigenstates form a time-independent, orthonormal basis, always produce a particular type of classical memory: probabilistic mixtures of unitary processes. Additionally, we show that the most general type of classical-memory processes can be generated by a quantum circuit in which system and environment interact through a specific class of controlled unitaries. Our results establish the first strong link between process-matrix methods and traditional Hamiltonian-based approaches to open quantum systems.
