contents We consider a general class of spatially local non-Markovian open quantum lattice models, with a bosonic environment that is approximated as Gaussian. Under the assumption of a finite environment memory time, formalized as a finite total variation of the memory kernel, we show that these models satisfy a Lieb-Robinson bound. Our work generalizes Lieb Robinson bounds for open quantum systems, which have previously only been established in the Markovian limit. Using these bounds, we then show that these non-Markovian models can be well approximated by a larger Markovian model, which contains the system spins together with only a finite number of environment modes. In particular, we establish that as a consequence of our Lieb-Robinson bounds, the number of environment modes per system site needed to accurately capture local observables is independent of the size of the system.
