In the classical domain, it is well known that divisibility does not imply that a stochastic process is Markovian. However, for quantum processes, divisibility is often considered to be synonymous with Markovianity. We show that completely positive divisible quantum processes can still involve non-Markovian temporal correlations, that we then fully classify using the recently developed process tensor formalism, which generalizes the theory of stochastic processes to the quantum domain.
在经典领域,众所周知,可分性并不意味着随机过程是马尔可夫过程。然而,对于量子过程,可分性通常被认为是马尔可夫性的同义词。我们表明,完全正可分量子过程仍然可以涉及非马尔可夫时间相关性,然后我们使用最近开发的过程张量形式主义对其进行了全面分类,该形式主义将随机过程理论推广到量子领域。
