Multipulse control of decoherence

Chikako Uchiyama, Masaki Aihara

We present a general formulation to suppress pure dephasing by multipulse control. The formula is free from a specific form of interaction and is expressed in terms of the correlation function of an arbitrary system-reservoir interaction. We first apply the formula to a phenomenological two-level model where the correlation function of the interaction decays exponentially. In this case, we show analytically that the pure dephasing time is effectively lengthened by the multipulse control. Secondly, we apply the formula to the spin-boson model where a spin interacts nonlinearly with a boson reservoir. We find the multipulse control works well when the pulse interval is sufficiently shorter than the correlation time of the system-reservoir interaction. Moreover, in this case, the pure dephasing can also be suppressed by adjusting the pulse interval to the period of dynamical motion of the reservoir.We present a general formulation to suppress pure dephasing by multipulse control.

Floquet control of quantum dissipation in spin chains

Chong Chen, Jun‐Hong An, Hong‐Gang Luo +2 more

Controlling the decoherence induced by the interaction of quantum system with its environment is a fundamental challenge in quantum technology. Utilizing Floquet theory, we explore the constructive role of temporal periodic driving in suppressing decoherence of a spin-1/2 particle coupled to a spin bath. It is revealed that, accompanying the formation of a Floquet bound state in the quasienergy spectrum of the whole system including the system and its environment, the dissipation of the spin system can be inhibited and the system tends to coherently synchronize with the driving. It can be seen as an analog to the decoherence suppression induced by the structured environment in spatially periodic photonic crystal setting. Comparing with other decoherence control schemes, our protocol is robust against the fluctuation of control parameters and easy to realize in practice. It suggests a promising perspective of periodic driving in decoherence control.Controlling the decoherence induced by the interaction of quantum system with its environment is a fundamental challenge in quantum technology.

Storing quantum information in XXZ spin rings with periodically time-controlled interactions

S. M. Giampaolo, Fabrizio Illuminati, G. Mazzarella

We introduce a general scheme to realize massive quantum memories in simple systems of interacting qubits. Such systems are described by spin rings with XXZ intersite couplings of suitably time-periodically controlled amplitudes. We show that initially localized excitations undergo perfect periodic revivals, allowing for the simultaneous storage of arbitrary sets of different local states. This novel approach to the problem of storing quantum information hints at a new way to control and suppress the effect of decoherence on a quantum computer realized in a system with nonvanishing interactions between the constituent qubits.We introduce a general scheme to realize massive quantum memories in simple systems of interacting qubits.
