الوصف: In stochastic modeling, the excess entropy -- the mutual information shared between a processes past and future -- represents the fundamental lower bound of the memory needed to simulate its dynamics. However, this bound cannot be saturated by either classical machines or their enhanced quantum counterparts. Simulating a process fundamentally requires us to store more information in the present than than what is shared between past and future. Here we consider a hypothetical generalization of hidden Markov models beyond classical and quantum models -- n-machines -- that allow for negative quasi-probabilities. We show that under the collision entropy measure of information, the minimal memory of such models can equalize the excess entropy. Our results hint negativity as a necessary resource for memory-advantaged stochastic simulation -- mirroring similar interpretations in various other quantum information tasks.
