Decoherence times of universal two-qubit gates in the presence of broad-band noise

The controlled generation of entangled states of two quantum bits is a fundamental step toward the implementation of a quantum information processor. In nano-devices this operation is counteracted by the solid-state environment, characterized by a broadband and non-monotonic power spectrum, often 1/ f , at low frequencies. For single-qubit gates, incoherent processes due to fluctuations acting on different time scales result in peculiar short- and long-time behavior. Markovian noise gives rise to exponential decay with relaxation and decoherence times, T 1 and T 2 , simply related to the symmetry of the qubit–environment coupling Hamiltonian. Noise with the 1/ f power spectrum at low frequencies is instead responsible for defocusing processes and algebraic short-time behavior. In this paper, we identify the relevant decoherence times of an entangling operation due to the different decoherence channels originating from solid-state noise. Entanglement is quantified by concurrence, which we evaluate in an analytic form employing a multi-stage approach. The 'optimal' operating conditions of reduced sensitivity to noise sources are identified. We apply this analysis to a superconducting gate for experimental noise spectra.

Decoherence in qubits due to low-frequency noise

Joakim Bergli, Y. M. Galperin, B. L. Altshuler

Abstract. The efficiency of the future devices for quantum information processing is limited mostly by the finite decoherence rates of the qubits. Recently a substantial progress was achieved in enhancing the time, which a solid-state qubit demonstrates a coherent dynamics. This progress is based mostly on a successful isolation of the qubits from external decoherence sources. Under these conditions the material-inherent sources of noise start to play a crucial role. In most cases the noise that quantum device demonstrate has 1/f spectrum. This suggests that the environment that destroys the phase coherence of the qubit can be thought of as a system of two-state fluctuators, which experience random hops between their states. In this short review we discuss the current state of the theory of the decoherence due to the qubit interaction with the fluctuators. We describe the effect of such an environment on different protocols of the qubit manipulations- free induction and echo signal. It turns out that in many important cases the noise produced by the fluctuators is non-Gaussian. Consequently the results of the interaction of the qubit with the fluctuators are not determined by the pair correlation function only.

Qubit decoherence under two-axis coupling to low-frequency noises

Guy Ramon, Łukasz Cywiński

Many solid-state qubit systems are afflicted by low-frequency noise mechanisms that operate along two perpendicular axes of the Bloch sphere. Depending on the qubit control fields, either noise can be longitudinal or transverse to the quantization axis of the qubit, thus affecting its dynamics in distinct ways, generally contributing to decoherence that goes beyond pure dephasing. Here, we present a theory that provides a unified platform to study dynamics of a qubit subjected to two perpendicular low-frequency noises (assumed to be Gaussian and uncorrelated) under dynamical decoupling pulse sequences. The theory is demonstrated by the commonly encountered case of power law noise spectra, where approximate analytical results can be obtained.
