Abstract : This experimental study aims to investigate the convex combinations of Pauli semigroups with arbitrary mixing parameters to determine whether the resulting dynamical map exhibits Markovian or non-Markovian behavior. Specifically, we consider the cases of equal as well as unequal mixing of two Pauli semigroups, and demonstrate that the resulting map is always non-Markovian. Additionally, we study three cases of three-way mixing of the three Pauli semigroups and determine the Markovianity or non-Markovianity of the resulting maps by experimentally determining the decay rates. To simulate the nonunitary dynamics of a single-qubit system with different mixing combinations of Pauli semigroups on an NMR quantum processor, we use an algorithm involving two ancillary qubits. The experimental results align with the theoretical predictions
