• Abstract: We introduce a quantum stochastic resetting protocol with uniform memory, in which each resetting event returns the system to a state visited at a time chosen uniformly from its entire history. The resulting dynamics is nonunitary, non-Markovian and a direct quantum generalization of the classical preferential relocation model. Working in the energy eigenbasis, we derive the exact evolution of every density-matrix element for an arbitrary time-independent Hamiltonian and show that the Hamiltonian enters the dynamics only through the corresponding Bohr frequencies. This leads to a natural distinction between two classes of quantum systems: gapped and gapless. In \emph{gapped systems} (systems with a discrete energy spectrum), while the diagonal elements remain unchanged, the off-diagonal elements of the density matrix in the energy eigenbasis decay algebraically with a continuously varying exponent and with an amplitude that oscillates periodically in $\log t$. The system therefore approaches a stationary state that is independent of the resetting rate and retains a strong memory of the initial state. In \emph{gapless systems} (systems with a continuous energy spectrum), arbitrarily small Bohr frequencies prevent stationarity. Instead, the position distribution spreads on the universal (ultra-slow) scale $\log(rt)/r$, independently of the initial state and of the details of the Hamiltonian. We illustrate these results with a two-level system, a harmonic oscillator, and a free quantum particle, and contrast them with their classical counterparts.

  This paper is concerned with open quantum harmonic oscillators (OQHOs) described by linear quantum differential equations. In a more realistic case of system-environment coupling, we define a memory decoherence horizon as a typical time for a mean-square deviation of the system variables. We consider the decoherence time over the energy and coupling matrix of the OQHO as a memory system in its storage phase and obtain a condition under which the zero Hamiltonian delivers a suboptimal solution.
