• Abstract: Quantum systems are often hindered by decoherence due to impact from the environment. While memoryless Markovian collision models are commonly used to approximate such evolution, non-Markovian dynamics (with memory) is typical in practice, with memory effects being harnessed as a resource for many tasks like quantum error correction and information processing. Yet, the type of memory, classical or quantum, necessary to realize the dynamics of many collision models is not known. In this work, we extend the quantum homogenizer to the non-Markovian regime by introducing intra-ancilla interactions mediated by Fredkin gates, and study the nature of its memory. Using entanglement measures and relying only on the local dynamics as a witness, we prove the model can be realized with either classical or quantum memory, depending on the initialization of the reservoir and the propagation of non-classical correlations within the reservoir. We further explore how quantum memory emerges across a wide range of practical scenarios. The results shed light on the origin of memory in open quantum systems and can advent the design of near-term quantum technologies for a variety of applications.

  Storing quantum information requires battling quantum decoherence, which results in a loss of information over time. To achieve error-resistant quantum memory, one would like to store the information in a quantum superposition of degenerate states engineered in such a way that local sources of noise cannot change one state into another. We show that this platform also allows to detect and correct certain types of errors en route to the goal of true error-resistant quantum memory.
