We study the dynamics of an impurity embedded in a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate, i.e., the Bose polaron problem. This problem is treated by recalling open quantum systems techniques: the impurity corresponds to a particle performing quantum Brownian motion, while the excitation modes of the gas play the role of the environment. It is crucial that the model considers a parabolic trapping potential to resemble the experimental conditions. Thus, we detail here how the formal derivation changes due to the gas trap, in comparison to the homogeneous gas. More importantly, we elucidate all aspects in which the gas trap plays a relevant role, with an emphasis on the enhancement of the non-Markovian character of the dynamics. We first find that the presence of a gas trap leads to a new form of the bath-impurity coupling constant and a larger degree in the super-Ohmicity of the spectral density. We then solve the quantum Langevin equation to derive the position and momentum variances of the impurity, where the former is a measurable quantity. For the particular case of an untrapped impurity, the asymptotic behavior of this quantity is found to be motion superdiffusive. When the impurity is trapped, we find position squeezing, casting the system suitable for implementing quantum metrology and sensing protocols. We detail how both superdiffusion and squeezing can be enhanced or inhibited by tuning the Bose-Einstein condensate trap frequency. Compared to the homogeneous gas case, the form of the bath-impurity coupling constant changes, and this is manifested as a different dependence of the system dynamics on the past history. To quantify this, we introduce several techniques to compare the different amount of memory effects arising in the homogeneous and inhomogeneous gas. We find that it is higher in the second case. This analysis paves the way to the study of non-Markovianity in ultracold gases, and the possibility to exploit such a property in the realization of new quantum devices.
