• Abstract: We present a new measure of non-Markovianity based on the property of nonincreasing quantum coherence via Kirkwood-Dirac (KD) quasiprobability under incoherent completely positive trace-preserving maps. Quantum coherence via the KD quasiprobability is defined as the imaginary part of the KD quasiprobability, which is maximised over all possible second bases and evaluated using an incoherent reference basis. A measure non-Markovianity based on KD quasiprobability coherence would capture memory effects via the time evolution of the imaginary part of the KD quasiprobability, providing an experimentally accessible and physically intuitive alternative to traditional measures relying on quantum Fisher information or trace distance. This approach is applied to the study of dissipation and dephasing dynamics in single- and two-qubit systems. The results obtained show that, in the cases studied, our measure based on coherence via Kirkwood-Dirac quasiprobability performs at least as well as $\ell_{1}$-norm coherence in detecting non-Markovianity, this provides a novel perspective on the analysis of non-Markovian dynamics.

  In quadratic fermionic models we determine a quantum correction to the work statistics after a sudden and a time-dependent driving. Such a correction lies in the non-commutativity of the initial quantum state and the time-dependent Hamiltonian. Thanks to the latter, one can assess the onset of non-classical signatures in the KDQ distribution of work.

  We propose a non-Markovianity measure for open quantum processes. We find that it is equivalent to the three previous measures of non-Markovianity for phase damping and amplitude damping channels. We also use the modified Tsallis relative $alpha$ entropy of coherence to detect the non-Markovianity of dynamics of quantum open systems.
