An open quantum system loses its ‘quantumness’ when information about the state leaks into its surroundings. Researchers now control this so-called decoherence in a single photon. By rotating an optical filter, the information flow between the photon and its environment can be tuned. This concept could be harnessed for future quantum technologies.

Colloquium: Non-Markovian dynamics in open quantum systems (2015, background): “Liu et al. (2011) introduced an all-optical experiment which allows through careful manipulation of the initial environmental states to drive the open system dynamics from the Markovian to the non-Markovian regime, to control the information flow between the system and the environment, and to…”
Dynamics of non-Markovian open quantum systems (2015, background): “In addition, as argued by Liu et al. (2011); Meier and Tannor (1999); Pechukas (1994); and Smirne et al. (2011), there are situations that are experimentally relevant where the system and the environment are initially correlated.”
