Quantum Systems: The Memory Effect

Quantum systems in the condensed phase often show complex behaviors. This is due to a memory effect called non-Markovianity. Unlike its simpler, memoryless counterpart, non-Markovianity makes these systems harder to understand. Many chemical systems have shown signs of this complex behavior through
