Abstract

In this study, we examine decoherence of qubits system coupled independently by using influence functional. We especially concentrated on the effect of qubit flip process. We examine the zero-dimensional qubit and one-dimensional qubits system coupled with multi-band one-dimensional system. The qubit flip process leads to oscillation and self-excitation. We also obtained the time evolution of von Neumann entropy.The pure dephasing channel indicates entropy. These results show quantum brown motion. We present the numerical calculation of the entropy for random telegraph noise. This indicates that the slower random telegraph noise leads to more mixed state.Thus for charge qubit, the background charge fluctuation is important.

Decoherence of a qubit due to either a quantum fluctuator, or classical telegraph noise

Henry James Wold, Håkon Brox, Y. M. Galperin +1 more

We study the domain of applicability of the classical telegraph noise model in the study of decoherence in qubits. We investigate the decoherence of a qubit coupled to either a quantum fluctuator, a quantum two-level system (TLS) again coupled to an environment, or to a classical fluctuator modeled by random telegraph noise. In order to do this, we construct a model for the quantum fluctuator where we can adjust the temperature of its environment, and the decoherence rate independently. The model has a well-defined classical limit at any temperature and this corresponds to the appropriate random telegraph process, which is symmetric at high temperatures and becomes asymmetric at low temperatures. We find that the difference in the qubit decoherence rates predicted by the two models depends on the ratio between the qubit-fluctuator coupling and the decoherence rate in the pointer basis of the fluctuator. This is then the relevant parameter, which determines whether the fluctuator, has to be treated quantum mechanically or can be replaced by a classical telegraph process. We also compare the mutual information between the qubit and the fluctuator in the classical and the quantum model.

Dephasing due to background charge fluctuations

Toshifumi Itakura, 康弘 都倉

In quantum computation, quantum coherence must be maintained during gate operation. However, in physical implementations, various couplings with the environment are unavoidable and can lead to a dephasing of a quantum bit (qubit). The background charge fluctuations are an important dephasing process, especially in a charge qubit system. We examined the dephasing rate of a qubit due to random telegraph noise. Solving stochastic differential equations, we obtained the dephasing rate of a qubit constructed of a coupled-dot system; we applied our results to the charge Josephson qubit system. We examined the dephasing rates due to two types of couplings between the coupled-dot system and the background charge, namely, fluctuation in the tunnel coupling constant and fluctuation in the asymmetric bias. For a strong-coupling condition, the dephasing rate was inversely proportional to the time constant of the telegraph noise. When there is fluctuation in the tunnel coupling constant, Gaussian decay occurs in the initial regime. We also examined the rate of dephasing due to many impurity sites. For a weak-coupling condition with fluctuation in the asymmetric bias, the obtained dephasing rate coincided with that obtained by the perturbation method using the spectral weight of a boson thermal bath, which is proportional to the inverse of the frequency.

Telegraph noise effects on two charge qubits in double quantum dots

A. Ayachi, W. Ben Chouikha, S. Jaziri +1 more

We analyze theoretically the decoherence of two interacting electrons in a double self-assembled quantum dot due to a random telegraph noise. For this purpose we have examined the pure dephasing rate by evaluating the decoherence factor. The latter has been shown to be different from that calculated within the Gaussian approximation in the strong coupling regime. In order to determine the influence of the random telegraph noise on the entanglement of the system states, the concurrence, the populations, and the entropy are evaluated as well. Our results show that telegraph noise can severely impact the coherence of charge qubits.

Equivalent qubit dynamics under classical and quantum noise

O.-P. Saira, Ville Bergholm, Teemu Ojanen +1 more

We study the dynamics of quantum systems under classical and quantum noise, focusing on decoherence in qubit systems. Classical noise is described by a random process leading to a stochastic temporal evolution of a closed quantum system, whereas quantum noise originates from the coupling of the microscopic quantum system to its macroscopic environment. We derive deterministic master equations describing the average evolution of the quantum system under classical continuous-time Markovian noise and two sets of master equations under quantum noise. Strikingly, these three equations of motion are shown to be equivalent in the case of classical random telegraph noise and proper quantum environments. Hence fully quantum-mechanical models within the Born approximation can be mapped to a quantum system under classical noise. Furthermore, we apply the derived equations together with pulse optimization techniques to achieve high-fidelity one-qubit operations under random telegraph noise, and hence fight decoherence in these systems of great practical interest.

Decoherence by quantum telegraph noise: A numerical evaluation

Benjamin Abel, Florian Marquardt

We investigate the time evolution of a charge qubit subject to quantum telegraph noise produced by a single electronic defect level. We obtain results for the time evolution of the coherence that are strikingly different from the usual case of a harmonic-oscillator bath (Gaussian noise). When the coupling strength crosses a certain temperature-dependent threshold, we observe coherence oscillations in the strong-coupling regime. Moreover, we present the time evolution of the echo signal in a spin-echo experiment. Our analysis relies on a numerical evaluation of the exact solution for the density matrix of the qubit.
