• Abstract: Non-Markovianity can be characterized by performing a series of successive measurements and analyzing departures of the corresponding outcome statistics from a Markovian probabilistic structure. Considering a system coupled with its environment via a dephasing interaction, we show that joint outcome probabilities can be written in terms of a set of two-time environment correlations. Their definition involves forward and backward propagators with different Hamiltonians, associated with a recently introduced generalization of standard Loschmidt echoes [Cormick and Budini, Phys. Lett. A 593, 132011 (2026)]. This result establishes a solid connection between quantum non-Markovianity defined in an operational (measurement-based) way and complex quantum dynamics studied through their sensitivity to dynamical perturbations. We find conditions that guarantee a Markovian (system) behavior and also determine how the generalized echoes can identify information exchanges between the system and its environment. We illustrate our ideas considering examples of spin environments that realize these different dynamical regimes.
