A number of noncontextual models exist which reproduce different subsets of quantum theory and admit a no-cloning theorem. Therefore, if one chooses noncontextuality as one's notion of classicality, no-cloning cannot be regarded as a nonclassical phenomenon. However, in the work that I'll present in this talk, we show that the phenomenology of quantum state cloning is indeed nonclassical, but not for the reasons usually given.

One of the fundamental concepts in statistical mechanics is the notion of ergodicity, which is closely related to the lack of memory of a system. In quantum mechanics, it is observed that the interactions redistribute the available

In order to engineer an open quantum system and its evolution, it is essential to identify and control the memory effects. These are formally attributed to the non-Markovianity of dynamics that manifests itself by the evolution being indivisible in time, a property which can be witnessed by a non-monotonic behavior of contractive functions or correlation measures. We show that by monitoring directly the entanglement behavior of a system in a tripartite setting it is possible to witness all invertible non-Markovian dynamics, as well as all (also non-invertible) qubit evolutions.
