| Sumario: | The issue of whether non-Markovianity (NM) could be considered as a resource in quantum information has been a subject of intense debate in recent years. Recently, a simple mechanism was proposed in which one of the main features of NM, the backflow of information from the environment to the system, represents a fundamental and quantifiable resource for generating entanglement within an open quantum system coupled to a finite and small environment [N. Mirkin, P. Poggi, and D. Wisniacki, Phys. Rev. A 99, 020301(R) (2019)2469-992610.1103/PhysRevA.99.020301]. In this work, we extend the validity of this resource mechanism by studying a completely different and more general scheme where the system is coupled to an infinite structured reservoir. Under both setups, we show that the degree of NM univocally determines the optimal degree of entanglement reachable by controlling the open system. This result strongly suggests the universality of a quantitative relation between entanglement and NM by using quantum optimal control. |
