Abstract

In this work, the energies and eigenfunctions of ground state and first-excited states (GFES) of a strongly coupled polaron in a quantum pseudo-dot (QPD) were studied by using variational method of Pekar type (VMPT). A single qubit can be realized in this two-level quantum system. Then, we calculated the coherence time of a QPD qubit by employing the Fermi Golden Rule. The temperature effects on the coherence time are taken into account by using the quantum statistics theory (QST) and self-consistent calculation method. According to the obtained results, it is found that the coherence time increases with decreasing temperature. Also, this time is a decaying function of the chemical potential of the two-dimensional electron gas and the zero point of the PHP.

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.

Electromagnetic-field dependence of the internal excited state of the polaron and the qubit in quantum dot with thickness

Xu-Fang Bai, Wei Xin, Hong-Wu Yin +1 more

The electromagnetic-field dependence of the ground and the first excited-state (GFES) energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the strong-coupling polaron in a quantum dot (QD) was studied for various QD thicknesses by using the variational method of the Pekar type (VMPT). On this basis, we construct a qubit in the quantum dot (QQD) by taking a two-level structure of the polaron as the carrier. The results of numerical calculations indicate that the oscillation period of the qubit, {itT}{in0}, increases with increasing the thickness of the quantum dot (TQD) {itL}, but decreases with increasing the cyclotron frequency of the magnetic field (CFMF) ω{in{itc}}, electric-field strength {itF}, and electron-phonon coupling strength (EPCS) α. The probability density of the qubit |Ψ({itρ}, {itz}, {itt})|{su2} presents a normal distribution of the electronic transverse coordinate ρ, significantly influenced by the TQD and effective radius of the quantum dot (ERQD) {itR}{in0}, and shows a periodic oscillation with variations in the electronic longitudinal coordinate {itz}, polar angle φ and time {itt}. The decoherence time τ and the quality factor {itQ} of the free rotation increase with increasing the CFMF ω{in{itc}}, dispersion coefficient η, and EPCS α, but decrease with increasing the electric-field strength {itF}, TQD {itL}, and ERQD {itR}{in0}. The TQD is an important parameter of the qubit. Theoretically, the target, which is to regulate the oscillation period, decoherence time and quality factor of the free rotation of the qubit, can be achieved by designing different TQDs and regulating the strength of the electromagnetic field.

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.

Effects of Electric Field and Temperature on RbCl Asymmetry Quantum Dot Qubit

Jing‐Lin Xiao

The effects of the electric field and temperature on a RbCl asymmetry quantum dot (AQD) qubit are investigated by using a variational method of the Pekar type. We first study the eigenenergies and eigenfunctions of the ground and first excited states of an electron strongly coupled to bulk longitudinal optical (LO) phonons with a three-dimensional (3D) harmonic potential under the influence of an electric field. This AQD two-level system may serve as a single qubit. We then obtain the time evolution of the electron's probability density when the electron is in the superposition state of the ground and first excited states. Finally, we investigate the effects of the electric field and temperature on the oscillating period, the time evolution of the electron's probability density and the coherence time. The numerical results show that the electron's probability density and its oscillatory period will increase (decrease) with increasing temperature in the low (high) temperature regime. The electron's probability density oscillates with a certain period in the AQD. The oscillating period is an increasing function of the temperature and the electric field. The coherence time is an increasing function of the temperature and the electric field, but it is a decreasing one of the transverse and longitudinal confinement strengths.

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.
