Performance of dynamical decoupling in bosonic environments and under pulse-timing fluctuations

We study the suppression of qubit dephasing through Uhrig dynamical decoupling (UDD) in nontrivial environments modeled within the spin-boson formalism. In particular, we address the case of (i) a qubit coupled to a bosonic bath with power-law spectral density, and (ii) a qubit coupled to a single harmonic oscillator that dissipates energy into a bosonic bath, which embodies an example of a structured bath for the qubit. We then model the influence of random time jitter in the UDD protocol by sorting pulse-application times from Gaussian distributions centered at appropriate values dictated by the optimal protocol. In case (i) we find that, when few pulses are applied and a sharp cutoff is considered, longer coherence times and robust UDD performances (against random timing errors) are achieved for a super-Ohmic bath. On the other hand, when an exponential cutoff is considered, a super-Ohmic bath is undesirable. In case (ii) the best scenario is obtained for an overdamped harmonic motion. Our study provides relevant information for the implementation of optimized schemes for the protection of quantum states from decoherence.

Dynamical Decoupling in Common Environment

Yu Pan, Hongting Song, Zairong Xi

Dynamical decoupling (DD) sequences were invented to eliminate the direct coupling between a qubit and its environment. We further investigate the possibility of decoupling the indirect qubit–qubit interaction induced by a common environment, and successfully find simplified solutions that preserve the bipartite quantum states to arbitrary order. Through analysing the exact dynamics of the controlled two-qubit density matrix, we have proven that applying independent Uhrig DD (UDD) on each qubit will effectively eliminate both the qubit–environment and indirect qubit–qubit couplings to the same order as in the single-qubit case, only if orders of the two UDD sequences have different parities. More specifically, UDD(n) on one qubit with UDD(m) on another are able to produce min (n, m)th-order suppression while n + m is odd. Our results can be used to reduce the pulse number in relevant experiments for protecting bipartite quantum states, or dynamically manipulating the indirect interaction within a certain quantum gate and quantum bus.

Efficiency of dynamical decoupling sequences in the presence of pulse errors

Zhihao Xiao, Lewei He, Wen-ge Wang

For a generic dynamical decoupling sequence employing a single-axis control, we study its efficiency in the presence of small errors in the direction of the controlling pulses. In the case that the corresponding ideal dynamical decoupling sequence produces sufficiently good results, the impact of the errors is found to scale as $\ensuremath{\xi}{}^{2}$, with negligible first-order effect, where $\ensuremath{\xi}$ is the dispersion of the random errors. This analytical prediction is numerically tested in a model in which the environment is modeled by one qubit coupled to a quantum kicked rotator in chaotic motion. In this model, with periodic pulses applied to the qubit in the environment, it is found numerically that periodic bang-bang control may outperform Uhrig dynamical decoupling.
