Markovian and non-Markovian effects on the geometric phase of a dissipative Josephson qubit

Abstract

Geometric phases are investigated for a Josephson qubit interacting with the Markovian and non-Markovian environments at arbitrary temperature according to a kinematic approach. In order to obtain the condition allowing experimental observation of geometric phase, we also estimate the decoherence times. The result shows that the Aharonov-Anandan phase may be different from the Berry phase under the environment perturbations. By comparing with the numerical result of the geometric phase as a function of the initial angle, we find that at low temperature, the effect of Markovian environment is larger than the non-Markovian one on the geometric phase. An approach is proposed to understand the accumulative effects of the geometric phase and its robustness to high-frequency noise, which may be helpful for geometric quantum information processing.

Non-Markovian effect on the geometric phase of a dissipative qubit

Juanjuan Chen, Jun‐Hong An, Qingjun Tong +2 more

We studied the geometric phase of a two-level atom coupled to an environment with Lorentzian spectral density. The non-Markovian effect on the geometric phase is explored analytically and numerically. In the weak coupling limit, the lowest order correction to the geometric phase is derived analytically and the general case is calculated numerically. It was found that the correction to the geometric phase is significantly large if the spectral width is small, and in this case the non-Markovian dynamics has a significant impact on the geometric phase. When the spectral width increases, the correction to the geometric phase becomes negligible, which shows the robustness of the geometric phase to the environmental white noises. The result is significant to the quantum information processing based on the geometric phase.

Stabilizing Geometric Phase by Detuning in a Non-Markovian Dissipative Environment

Xing Mao Xiao, Yan‐Ling Li

The geometric phase of a two-level atom non-resonantly coupled to a non-Markovian dissipative environment is investigated. Compared to an earlier work [Chen J. J. et al. Phys. Rev. A 81 (2010) 022120 ] in which the non-Markovian effect has a serious correction on geometric phase, we find that the geometric phase can be stabilized by detuning in non-Markovian dissipative decoherence. Moreover, the geometric phase approaches the unitary geometric phase with the increase of detuning for any initial polar angle, which shows that the geometric phase is not only resilient to the Markovian noise but is also resilient to the non-Markovian noise when a large detuning between the qubit and environment is considered. Our results may be helpful for geometric quantum computation.

Nonunitary geometric phases: A qubit coupled to an environment with random noise

Fernando C. Lombardo, Paula I. Villar

We describe the decoherence process induced on a two-level quantum system in direct interaction with a nonequilibrium environment. The nonequilibrium feature is represented by a nonstationary random function corresponding to the fluctuating transition frequency between two quantum states coupled to the surroundings. In this framework, we compute the decoherence factors which have a characteristic ``dip'' related to the initial phases of the bath modes. We therefore study different types of environments, namely, ohmic and supraohmic. These environments present different decoherence time scales than the thermal environment we used to study. As a consequence, we compute analytically and numerically the nonunitary geometric phase for the qubit in a quasicyclic evolution under the presence of these particular nonequilibrium environments. We show in which cases decoherence effects could, in principle, be controlled in order to perform a measurement of the geometric phase using standard procedures.

Non-Markovian effects on the geometric phase

X. L. Huang, X. X. Yi

The geometric phases of a two-level atom interacting with non-Markovian environments are calculated and the non-Markovian effects on the geometric phases are discussed in this paper. Three kinds of methods that describe the non-Markovian process, projection superoperator technique, memory kernel master equation and post-Markovian master equation, are used in the discussions. The results show that when the dissipation rate is large, the non-Markovian effects change the geometric phase more strikingly than the small one.

Memory-induced geometric phase in non-Markovian open systems

Da-Wei Luo, J. Q. You, Hai-Qing Lin +2 more

Geometric phases have been shown to be feasible in implementing quantum gates to perform quantum information processing. For all the realistic applications, the environmental influence on the geometric phase and decoherence such as memory effects must be properly considered in order to achieve the required precision in geometric quantum computation. In this paper, we study the geometric phase for a generic open quantum system based on a microscopic model. A remarkable feature of the open system's geometric phase obtained from our theoretical formulation is that the geometric phase can be obtained regardless of the existence of the master equations, while the environmental noise features such as memory effects are fully accounted for. We demonstrate that the geometric phases for a general open quantum system can be fundamentally modified by its non-Markovian environments.

Geometric phase of two-qubit system in dephasing environment

Xiaoya Cai, Hui Pan, Z. S. Wang

We investigated the geometric phase for interaction between superconducting two-qubit system in dephased environment. The Pancharatnam phase and the Berry phase are studied. Numerical results are discussed. By considering the differently initial conditions, we find that the time-dependent Pancharatnam phase keeps the initial entangling message. On the other hand, the transition of Pancharatnam phase is dependent of the phase change in the superconducting two-qubit coupling system. Our results may be helpful to implement the time-dependent geometric quantum computation.
