Description	The rigorous detection and quantification of non-Markovianity in open quantum systems has recently gained a lot of attention. Despite generating many insights on the mathematical side, the proposed quantifiers of non-Markovianity are very hard to compute in practice and the relation to more traditional quantities of physical interest is not clear. In the first part of my talk I will present a very simple, yet rigorous way to witness non-Markovianty, which is based on linear response theory. In the second part of my talk I will discuss when (and when not) temporal negativities of the entropy production rate imply non-Markovianity. This creates an important link between the mathematical concept of non-Markovianity and a physical observable, which quantifies the overall irreversibility of the open system dynamics.
