A class of quasi-eternal non-Markovian Pauli channels and their measure

Abstract: We study a class of qubit non-Markovian general Pauli dynamical maps with multiple singularities in the generator. We discuss a few easy examples involving trigonometric or other non-monotonic time dependence of the map, and discuss in detail the structure of channels which don't have any trigonometric functional dependence. We demystify the concept of a singularity here, showing that it corresponds to a point where the dynamics can be regular but the map is momentarily non-invertible, and this gives a basic guideline to construct such non-invertible non-Markovian channels. Most members of the channels in the considered family are quasi-eternally non-Markovian (QENM), which is a broader class of non-Markovian channels than the eternal non-Markovian channels. In specific, the measure of quasi-eternal non-Markovian (QENM) channels in the considered class is shown to be $\frac{2}{3}$ in the isotropic case, and about 0.96 in the anisotropic case.
