Abstract
The are several nonequivalent notions of Markovian quantum evolution. In this paper we show that the one based on the so-called CP divisibility of the corresponding dynamical map enjoys the following stability property: the dynamical map is CP divisible if and only if the second tensor power is CP divisible as well. Moreover, the P divisibility of the map is equivalent to the CP divisibility of the map . Interestingly, the latter property is no longer true if we replace the P divisibility of by simple positivity and the CP divisibility of by complete positivity. That is, unlike when has a time-independent generator, positivity of does not imply complete positivity of .
