• Abstract: Experiments performed on quantum systems often measure multitime correlation functions. When quantum systems are weakly coupled to their environment, the time evolution of such correlation functions can be reduced to that of the reduced density matrix by the quantum regression theorem (QRT). While no QRT is available for general non-Markovian open quantum systems, we show that for time-independent Hamiltonians and finite memory times $τ_c$, an exact factorization rule exists that relates higher-order multitime correlations to products of lower-order correlations. Consequently, all information needed to reconstruct $n$-time correlations is contained in a temporal volume of $\mathcal{O}(τ_c^n)$. On the example of quantum dots coupled to phonons, we demonstrate that this factorization makes numerical calculations of multitime correlations extremely efficient and even enables semianalytical solutions in systems where the standard QRT breaks down.

• Almost-quantum correlations violate the isotropy and homogeneity principles in flat space [0.0]
  Almost quantum correlations are a post-quantum model which satisfies all kinematics of standard quantum correlations except one. We invoke the isotropy and homogeneity principles of the flat space as a conclusive and distinguishing criterion to rule out the almost-quantum correlations model. We prove that this condition is sufficient (and necessary) to reduce the almost quantum correlations model to quantum mechanics in both bipartite and multipartite systems.

  Recurrence time quantifies the duration required for a physical system to return to its initial state. In quantum systems with subspace measurements, recurrence times are governed by Anandan-Aharonov phases, yielding fractionally quantized recurrence times. Here, we establish universal lower and upper bounds for recurrence times in interacting spins.

We show that, despite the similarities between CQ_d and QC_d, the two models are intrinsically, i.e. CQ_d $nsubseteq$ QC_d and QC_d $nsubseteq$ CQ_d relative to an oracle.
