Analytically, a non-Markovian probability function is derived for the buffered photon and its paired photon. To verify the probability function, full quantum state tomography of the photon pairs is performed. The probability function fits well with the experimental data and physical values. These results indicate that the quantum system operates slightly above the threshold for a non-Markovian transition. We observe a unique polarization dynamic of the buffered photon. Measures of quantum mutual information are further exploited to study the quantumness of the photon pairs. Werner's well-known separability criterion occurs at a buffer time of about 0.9 ms.

The excitation-number conversion associated with the no-jump evolution trajectory enables removal of the noisy outcomes with quantum jumps, implementing the exceptional point (EP), where the Rabi splitting exhibits a divergent behavior in response to a tiny variation of the effective coupling.

According to this hypothesis, time evolution is governed by a master equation having an added nonlinear term, which deterministically generates disentanglement.
