The first model is given by referring to the damping Jaynes–Cummings model with a reservoir described by Lorentzian spectral density. And the second model is a pure dephasing model with a reservoir described by Ohmic spectral density. We investigate the impact of acceleration and Hawking temperature on the non-Markovianity and the quantum speed limit time of a two-qubit open quantum system. Through the numerical calculation, it is found that for these two models, by reducing the acceleration of qubits and the Hawking temperature outside the event horizon, the non-Markovianity of the dynamic process of the quantum system in the Schwarzschild space–time can be enhanced until it approaches the non-Markovianity when both qubits are in the inertial frame. However, we find that in the first model, the evolution speed of quantum state can be accelerated with decreasing acceleration and Hawking temperature. While in the second model, the quantum state evolution speed can be accelerated with increasing acceleration and Hawking temperature.
