  We consider the problem of energy transport in a chain of coupled dissipative
quantum systems in the presence of non-Markovian dephasing. We use a model of
non-Markovianity which is experimentally realizable in the context of
controlled quantum systems. We show that non-Markovian dephasing can
significantly enhance quantum transport, and we characterize this phenomenon in
terms of internal coupling strengths of the chain for some chain lengths.
Finally, we show that the phenomenon of dephasing-assisted quantum transport is
also enhanced in the non-Markovian scenario when compared to the Markovian
case. Our work brings together engineered environments, which are a reality in
quantum technologies, and energy transport, which is typically discussed in
terms of complex molecular systems. We then expect that it may motivate
experimental work and further theoretical investigations on resources which can
enhance transport efficiency in a controllable way. This can help in the design
of quantum devices with lower dissipation rates, an important concern in any
practical application.
