The theory of open quantum systems aims to describe the dynamics of a quantum system coupled to an environment using a limited number of degrees of freedom. The Caldeira-Leggett model of quantum Brownian motion represents a physically interesting example of such systems showing strong memory effects, i.e., non-Markovian dynamics, in certain parameter regimes. Recently, a witness for non-Markovianity has been developed which is based on the Kolmogorov distance between quasi-probability distributions of two states [1]. Additionally, for Gaussian dynamics, a new measure of non-Markovianity can be defined using exclusively the Glauber-Sudarshan P-function. Here, we apply this witness to the Caldeira-Leggett model and show the behaviour of the non-Markovianity measure in different scenarios, while studying where the witness works best.
