Bang-bang control of a qubit coupled to a quantum critical spin bath

Abstract

We analytically and numerically study the effects of pulsed control on the decoherence of a qubit coupled to a quantum spin bath. When the environment is critical, decoherence is faster and we show that the control is relatively more effective. Two coupling models are investigated, namely, a qubit coupled to a bath via a single link and a spin-star model, yielding results that are similar and consistent.

Bang-Bang Control of Entanglement in Spin-Bus–Boson Model

Robabeh Rahimi, Akira SaiToh, Mikio Nakahara

A linear coupling model of a spin system with bosonic modes is a typical model to theoretically evaluate decoherence. In this contribution, we consider a dynamical control of decoherence of entanglement in a spin system consisting of an electron spin and nuclear spins (namely, a spin bus system) coupled with bosons whose modes are in resonance with individual spins. Numerical simulations show that bang-bang pulses with a realistic duty ratio can suppress decoherence considerably in an entangled two-qubit system. Simulation results indicate one phenomenon: a very large, as well as very small, dissipation rate of bosons results in a small decoherence.

From Zeno to anti-Zeno regime: Decoherence-control dependence on the quantum statistics of the bath

D. D. Bhaktavatsala Rao, Gershon Kurizki

We demonstrate through exact solutions that a spin bath leads to stronger (faster) dephasing of a qubit than a bosonic bath with an identical bath-coupling spectrum. This difference is due to the spin-bath ``dressing'' by the coupling. Consequently, the quantum statistics of the bath strongly affects the pulse sequences required to dynamically decouple the qubit from its bath.

Pulse control of sudden transition for two qubits in XY spin baths and quantum phase transition

Da-Wei Luo, Hai‐Qing Lin, Jing‐Bo Xu +1 more

We study the dynamics of two initially correlated qubits coupled to their own separate spin baths modeled by an $XY$ spin chain and find the explicit expression of the quantum discord for the system. A sudden transition is found to exist between classical and quantum decoherence by choosing certain initial states. We show that the sudden transition happens near the critical point, which provides an alternative way to characterize the quantum phase transition. Furthermore, we propose a scheme to prolong the transition time of the quantum discord by applying the bang-bang pulses.

Robust control of decoherence in realistic one-qubit quantum gates

V. Protopopescu, R Perez, C D Helon +1 more

We present an open-loop (bang-bang) scheme to control decoherence in a generic one-qubit quantum gate and implement it in a realistic simulation. The system is consistently described within the spin-boson model, with interactions accounting for both adiabatic and thermal decoherence. The external control is included from the beginning in the Hamiltonian as an independent interaction term. After tracing out the environment modes, reduced equations are obtained for the two-level system in which the effects of both decoherence and external control appear explicitly. The controls are determined exactly from the condition to eliminate decoherence, i.e. to restore unitarity. Numerical simulations show excellent performance and robustness of the proposed control scheme.

Description and control of decoherence in quantum bit systems

Henryk Gutmann

The description and control of decoherence of quantum bit systems have become a field of increasing interest during the last decade. We discuss different techniques to estimate and model decoherence sources of solid state quantum bit realizations. At first, we derive a microscopic, perturbation theoretical approach for Lindblad master equations of a spin-Boson model at low temperatures. A different sort of decoherence is investigate by means of the bistable fluctuator model. For this particular but nevertheless for solid state qubits relevant noise source, we present a suitably designed dynamical decoupling method (so-called quantum bang-bang). This works as a high-pass filter, suppressing low frequency parts of the noise most effectively and thus being a promising method to compensate the ubiquituous 1/f noise. Furthermore, we investigate the behaviour of a two coupled spin system exposed to collective and localized bath. For this dressed-spin system we receive by means of scaling-analysis in first order a quantum phase diagram. On that we can identify the various quantum dynamical and entanglement phases.
