A general approach using general fractional calculus is proposed for constructing non-Markovian quantum theory, suggesting non-Markovian equations for quantum observables and states with a form of non-locality in time. A wide class of exactly solvable models for non-Markovian quantum dynamics is introduced, discussing properties like bi-positivity, complete positivity, dissipativity, and generalized dissipativity. Examples of a quantum oscillator and two-level quantum system with a general form of nonlocality in time are provided in this approach.
A general approach to the construction of non-Markovian quantum theory is proposed. Non-Markovian equations for quantum observables and states are suggested by using general fractional calculus. In the proposed approach, the non-locality in time is represented by operator kernels of the Sonin type. A wide class of the exactly solvable models of non-Markovian quantum dynamics is suggested. These models describe open (non-Hamiltonian) quantum systems with general form of nonlocality in time. To describe these systems, the Lindblad equations for quantum observable and states are generalized by taking into account a general form of nonlocality. The non-Markovian quantum dynamics is described by using integro-differential equations with general fractional derivatives and integrals with respect to time. The exact solutions of these equations are derived by using the operational calculus that is proposed by Yu. Luchko for general fractional differential equations. Properties of bi-positivity, complete positivity, dissipativity, and generalized dissipativity in general non-Markovian quantum dynamics are discussed. Examples of a quantum oscillator and two-level quantum system with a general form of nonlocality in time are suggested.
