• Abstract: Non-unital noise is a fundamental feature of open quantum systems, governing energy exchange and inducing state translations on the Bloch sphere. While such translations can be useful for tasks such as state preparation and channel capacity, unital dynamics where no translation occurs are often preferred in quantum information processing, particularly for error correction. Phase-covariant dynamics provide a general framework encompassing dissipation, excitation, and dephasing processes in qubit systems; however, commonly used models such as the generalized amplitude damping (GAD) channel offer only limited control over these features. In this work, we present a constructive framework for generating a broader class of phase-covariant dynamics by mixing amplitude-damping and anti-damping channels with unequal decay parameters and time-dependent mixing probabilities. This approach enables independent control over contraction and translation, allows continuous tuning between non-unital and unital regimes, and yields an effective dephasing contribution absent in GAD. To characterize these dynamics, we employ the general theorem for P-divisibility and show that it can be used constructively by evaluating it in suitably chosen Hilbert space bases, leading to simplified conditions for both unital and non-unital cases. The framework captures a wide range of behaviors, including CP-divisible, P-divisible but not CP-divisible, and non-P-divisible dynamics. We further show that appropriate mixing can reduce the deviation from the ideal noiseless evolution and that such improvement persists even after tuning the dynamics to the unital regime. Our results provide a flexible approach to engineering open system dynamics beyond standard thermal models, with potential applications in noise control and quantum information processing.
