Quantum memory effects are essential in understanding and controlling open quantum systems, yet distinguishing them from classical memory remains challenging. We introduce a convex geometric framework to analyze quantum memory propagating in non-Markovian processes. We prove that classical memory between two time points is fundamentally bounded and introduce a robustness measure for quantum memory based on convex geometry. This admits an efficient experimental characterization by linear witnesses of quantum memory, bypassing full process tomography. We prove that any memory effects present in the spontaneous emission process of two- and three-level atomic systems are necessarily quantum, suggesting a pervasive role of quantum memory in quantum optics. Giant artificial atoms are discussed as a readily available test platform.

  1. Two-point measurement correlations beyond the quantum regression theorem

    quant-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A generalized quantum regression formula holds exactly for processes with classical memory, and its violation is a detectable witness of quantum memory, with applications to the spin-boson model.

  2. Non-Markovian dynamics of the giant atom beyond the rotating-wave approximation

    quant-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    HEOM with ESPRIT-fitted bath correlations simulates giant-atom dynamics beyond rotating-wave/weak-coupling limits, showing Redfield fails with delay memory and strong coupling yields a two-contact bound state.

  3. A One-sided Witness for the Quantumness of Gravitational Dynamics

    quant-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A one-sided witness based on quantum memory effects can conclusively show that the gravitational interaction is quantum, using measurements on only one of the two interacting masses.
