Experimental Demonstration of non-Markovian Dynamics via a Temporal Bell-like Inequality

We assess non-Markovianity of a quantum open-system dynamics through the violation of temporal bell-like inequalities in a controllable Nuclear Magnetic Resonance system. We investigate experimentally the connections between the violation of the addressed temporal Bell-like inequality and the non-divisibility of the effective evolution of our system, which we fully characterize in a broad range of experimentally controllable regimes. Finally, we investigate the link between our approach and Leggett-Garg-like inequalities based on time-translational two-time correlation functions. These results open up interesting perspectives for the effective, non-tomographic characterization of dynamical evolution by combining tools of different nature.
