Abstract

We consider protecting a Hadamard operation from independent dephasing, bit flipping, and dissipation. These environment-induced errors are represented by three uncorrelated reservoirs of thermalized bosons and we show that the protection is achievable through continuous dynamical decoupling. We find that, to decouple the Hadamard evolution from the environmental influence, we need a control field of higher frequency if the boson spectral density is superohmic rather than if it is ohmic. We also study the relevance of bit flipping and dissipation to the gate fidelity when it is protected from dephasing, showing how robust this partial protection is against these other perturbations. Finally, we calculate an efficient field arrangement capable of protecting simultaneously the gate operation from these three error classes.

Continuously decoupling single-qubit operations from a perturbing thermal bath of scalar bosons

F. F. Fanchini, José Eduardo Martinho Hornos, Reginaldo de Jesus Napolitano

We investigate the use of continuously applied external fields to maximize the fidelity of quantum logic operations performed on a decohering qubit. Assuming a known error operator and an environment represented by a scalar boson field at a finite temperature, we show how decoherence during logical operations can be efficiently reduced by applying a superposition of two external vector fields: one rotating orthogonally to the direction of the other, which remains static. The required field directions, frequency of rotation, and amplitudes to decouple noise dynamically are determined by the coupling constants and the desired logical operation. We illustrate these findings numerically for a Hadamard quantum gate and an environment with ohmic spectral density.

Continuous dynamical protection of two-qubit entanglement from uncorrelated dephasing, bit flipping, and dissipation

F. F. Fanchini, Reginaldo de Jesus Napolitano

We show that a simple arrangement of external fields, consisting of a static component and an orthogonal rotating component, can continuously decouple a two-qubit entangled state from uncorrelated dephasing, bit flipping, and dissipation at finite temperature. We consider a situation where an entangled state shared between two noninteracting qubits is initially prepared and left to evolve under environmental perturbations and the protection of external fields. To illustrate the protection of the entanglement, we solve numerically a master equation in the Born approximation, considering independent boson fields at the same temperature coupled to the different error agents of each qubit.

Protecting the SWAP operation from general and residual errors by continuous dynamical decoupling

F. F. Fanchini, Reginaldo de Jesus Napolitano, Barış Çakmak +1 more

We study the occurrence of errors in a continuously decoupled two-qubit state during a $\sqrt{\mathit{SWAP}}$ quantum operation under decoherence. We consider a realization of this quantum gate based on the Heisenberg exchange interaction, which alone suffices for achieving universal quantum computation. Furthermore, we introduce a continuous-dynamical-decoupling scheme that commutes with the Heisenberg Hamiltonian to protect it from the amplitude damping and dephasing errors caused by the system-environment interaction. We consider two error-protection settings. One protects the qubits from both amplitude damping and dephasing errors. The other features the amplitude damping as a residual error and protects the qubits from dephasing errors only. In both settings, we investigate the interaction of qubits with common and independent environments separately. We study how errors affect the entanglement and fidelity for different environmental spectral densities.

Time-dependent Rabi frequencies to protect quantum operations on an atomic qutrit by continuous dynamical decoupling

Adonai Hilário da Silva, Reginaldo de Jesus Napolitano, F. F. Fanchini +1 more

We investigate the form required for the time-dependent Rabi frequencies involved in a procedure capable to protect the action of quantum gates on an atomic qutrit by means of external fields continuously decoupling the system from the environmental noise. Several simulations are considered to protect the action of quantum-gate models, including randomly chosen ones. We argue that the requirements for the Rabi frequencies could be nowadays experimentally met. We also investigate the transition from one gate operation to another, including protecting a qutrit memory state. We finally apply our methodology to protect from noise the application of an algorithm capable of distinguishing the parity of permutations of three elements.

Dynamical decoupling efficiency versus quantum non-Markovianity

Carole Addis, Francesco Ciccarello, Michele Cascio +2 more

We investigate the relationship between non-Markovianity and the effectiveness of a dynamical decoupling (DD) protocol for qubits undergoing pure dephasing. We consider an exact model in which dephasing arises due to a bosonic environment with a spectral density of the Ohmic class. This is parametrized by an Ohmicity parameter by changing which we can model both Markovian and non-Markovian environments. Interestingly, we find that engineering a non-Markovian environment is detrimental to the efficiency of the DD scheme, leading to a worse coherence preservation. We show that each DD pulse reverses the flow of quantum information and, on this basis, we investigate the connection between DD efficiency and the reservoir spectral density. Finally, in the spirit of reservoir engineering, we investigate the optimum system-reservoir parameters for achieving maximum stationary coherences.

High-fidelity gate operations for quantum computing beyond dephasing time limits

Alexandre M. Souza, Roberto S. Sarthour, Ivan S. Oliveira +1 more

The implementation of quantum gates with fidelities that exceed the threshold for reliable quantum computing requires robust gates whose performance is not limited by the precision of the available control fields. The performance of these gates also should not be affected by the noisy environment of the quantum register. Here we use randomized benchmarking of quantum gate operations to compare the performance of different families of gates that compensate errors in the control field amplitudes and decouple the system from the environmental noise. We obtain average fidelities of up to 99.8%, which exceeds the threshold value for some quantum error correction schemes as well as the expected limit from the dephasing induced by the environment.
