Non-Markovianity of A Central Spin Interacting with a Lipkin–Meshkov–Glick Bath via a Conditional Past–Future Correlation

Based on conditional past–future (CPF) correlations, we study the non-Markovianity of a central spin coupled to an isotropic Lipkin–Meshkov–Glick (LMG) bath. Although the dynamics of a system is always non-Markovian, it is found that some measurement time intervals considering a specific process, wi...
