These properties have have been numerically found in several systems, namely, tight-binding lattice models. For its rules, our model can be understood as the quantum version of the classical non-Markovian "elephant random walk" process for which the quantum coin operator only changes the value of the diffusion constant although, contrarily, to the classical coin. %R 10.1103/PhysRevA.97.062112 %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1709.09464 %U https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.97.062112 %P 062112-6pp
