Abstract
In this work, we derive a deterministic master equation to model a general, possibly non-Markovian, feedback. The master equation describes a system with a general evolution and measurement operation, with feedback being applied in terms of signal processing. The feedback signal has an arbitrary structure with dimensionality that indicates the degree of non-Markovianity of the information processing. We present examples to illustrate how such a master equation can be used to model systems with memory feedback and non-trivial frequency dependence.
