Abstract

We study the eigenenergies and eigenfunctions of the ground and first-excited states of an electron which is strongly coupled to an LO-phonon in a quantum dot with a triangular bound potential and Coulomb bound potential by using the Pekar variational method. This system may be used as a two-level qubit. Phonon spontaneous emission causes the decoherence of the qubit. Numerical calculations are performed on the decoherence rate as a function of the polar angle, the Coulomb binding parameter, the coupling strength, the confinement length of the quantum dot and the dispersion coefficient.

DECOHERENCE OF THE TRIANGULAR BOUND POTENTIAL QUANTUM DOT QUBIT

Jia-Kui Sun, Hongjuan Li, Jing‐Lin Xiao

We study the eigenenergies and the eigenfunctions of the ground and the first excited states of an electron, which is strongly coupled to the LO-phonon in a quantum dot with triangular bound potential by using the Pekar variational method. This system may be used as a two-level qubit. Our numerical results indicate that the decoherence rate will decrease with increasing the confinement length of the quantum dot (QD) and decrease with increasing electron-LO-phonon coupling constant. The influences of the polar angle on the decoherence rate are dominant when the coupling constant increases, while the effects of the polar angle on that are strong when the confinement length increases. Meanwhile, the decoherence rate varies periodically with respect to the polar angle.

On the condition of electric-LO phonon strong coupling in parabolic quantum dot, we obtained the eigenenergy of the ground state and the first excited state, the eigenfuctions of the ground state and the first excited state by using variational method of Pekar type. This system of quantum dot may be employed as a two-level quantum system-qubit. The phonon spontaneous emission causes the decoherence of the qubit. We discussed the relatoion between the decoherence time and the Coulomb binding parameter，the couping strength, the confinement length, and the conefficient dispersion.

Decoherence of Polaron in Asymmetric Quantum Dot Qubit Under an Electromagnetic Field

A. J. Fotué

In this paper, we investigate the time evolution of the quantum mechanical state of a polaron using the Pekar type variational method on the electric-LO-phonon and the magnetic-LO-phonon strong coupling in a quantum dot. We obtain the Eigen energies and the Eigen functions of the ground state and the first excited state, respectively. In a quantum dot, this system can be viewed as a two level quantum system qubit. The superposition state polaron density oscillates in the quantum dot with a period τ_0when the polaron is in the superposition of the ground and the first-excited states. The spontaneous emission of phonons causes the decoherence of the qubit. We show that the density matrix of the qubit decays with the time while the coherence term of the density matrix element 〖 p〗_01 (〖 or p〗_10) decays with the time as well for different coupling strengths, confinement lengths, and dispersion coefficients. The Shannon entropy is evaluated in order to investigate the decoherence of the system.

OPTICAL PHONON EFFECT IN AN ASYMMETRIC QUANTUM DOT QUBIT

Zhao-Hua Ding, Yong Sun, Jing‐Lin Xiao

We investigate the eigenenergies and the eigenfunctions of the ground and the first excited states of an electron, which is strongly coupled to LO-phonon in an asymmetric quantum dot (QD) by using variational method of Pekar type. The present system may be used as a two-level qubit. When the electron is in the superposition state of the ground and the first excited states, the probability density of the electron oscillates in the QD with a certain period. It is found that the oscillation period is an increasing function of the transverse and the longitudinal effective confinement lengths of the QD, whereas it is a decreasing one of the electron–phonon coupling strength.

Effect of temperature on the coherence time of a parabolic quantum dot qubit

Wei Xiao, Hongwei Wang

The effects of the temperature on the coherence time of a parabolic quantum dot (PQD) qubit are investigated by using the variational method of Pekar type. We obtain the ground and the first excited states’ eigenenergies and the corresponding eigenfunctions of an electron strongly coupled to bulk longitudinal optical phonons in the PQD. This two-level PQD system may be employed as a single qubit. The phonon spontaneous emission causes the decoherence of the qubit. We find that the coherence time will decrease with increasing temperature. It is an increasing function of the effective confinement length, whereas it is decreasing one of the polaron radius. We find that by changing the temperature, the effective confinement length and the polaron radius one can adjust the coherence time. Our research results would be useful for the design and implementation of the solid-state quantum computation.

Properties of Strong-coupling Bipolaron Qubit in Parabolic Potential Quantum Dot

Han Cha

On the basis of Lee-Low-Pines( LLP) unitary transformation,the eigenenergy and eigenfunction of the ground-state and the first excited state of the strong-coupling bipolaron in two-dimensional quantum dot( QD) were obtained by using the variational method of Pekar type. A qubit was formed by overlaying both the ground state and the first excited state of the bipolaron system. Numerical calculations indicate that the oscillating period T0 of qubits decreases with the increasing the electron-phonon coupling strength α,the confinement strength ω0of the quantum dot,and the dielectric constant ratio η; the distribution of the probability density Q of the electrons in quantum dot oscillates periodically with time t,angle coordinate φ2,and the dielectric constant ratio η,and there is a maximum at near the center and zero away from the center of quantum dot.
