ExperimentalResults

Conclusions

The experiment is performed in 5 steps:1. Light source in which a 808 nm CW laser is coupled into a single mode fiber to

obtain a well-known Gaussian beam. A polarizer is used to set the light withvertical polarization.

2. Environment preparation is carried out by means of interference effects[3]. It ispossible to monitor the environment with the 2𝑓 system

analyzer.

The experimental results of the dynamics of the quantum system for different environments. The experimental data corresponds to diagonal and anti-diagonal initialpolarization states. The Dots are the experimental data and the solid lines are the theoretical model.

At first glance, the interaction of a quantum system with an environment may seem to be detrimental for the information codified in the system. However, it is possiblefor the system to recover this information [1]. In this project, we used photonic systems to simulate quantum dynamics. We used the polarization as the quantumsystem and the transverse momentum of light as its environment [2]. Manipulating the environment by means of interference effects [3], we studied the transitionfrom Markovian to Non-Markovian. We identified the type of dynamics generated by means of the trace distance , fidelity and relative entropy.

• We simulated different quantum dynamics using photons. In particular, the polarization and transverse momentum of light serve as system and environment,respectively.

• Engineering of the transversal profile of light offered us the possibility to change the dynamics of the system. i.e., the transition from Markovian to non-Markovian.

• The dynamics of a quantum system were characterized by the relative entropy, 𝑆(𝑦), fidelity, F(𝑦), and trace distance, D(𝑦).
