Description
The heavy quarks (HQs) are considered to be effective probes to study
the evolution of the QGP. We study the dynamics of HQs in a hot QCD
medium with a time-correlated noise, $\eta$. We have introduced the
effect of memory through $\eta$ and the dissipative force in the
Generalized Langevin equation (GLV). We supposed that the time
correlations of the colored noise decay exponentially with time,
called the memory time, $\tau$. We have explored the effect of
non-zero values of $\tau$ on the nuclear modification factor,
 $R_{AA}$,  and transverse momentum broadening, $\sigma_p$ of the HQs
within the QGP medium. We find that overall memory slows down the
momentum evolution of heavy quarks: in fact, transverse momentum
broadening and the formation of $R_{AA}$are slowed down by memory.
