The Effects of Electric Field on the Coherence Time of RbCl Quantum Pseudodot Qubit

We academically explore the properties of the coherence time (CT) of an electron powerful coupled to the phonons in a RbCl quantum pseudodot (QPD) qubit with an exterior electric field alongside the ρ_x direction. By employing the Pekar type variational method (PTVM) and the Fermi golden rule, the CT changes with the electric field, the chemical potential of the two-dimensional electron gas (CPTDEG), the zero point of the pseudoharmonic potential (ZPPHP) and the polaron radius is studied. The examined results indicate ① that the CT of RbCl QPD qubit decays with aggrandizing electric field, ② that the CT is a decreasing function of the CPTDEG, the ZPPHP and the polaron radius, ③ that here we can find that we can adjust the CT by changing the external electric field, the CPTDEG, the ZPPHP and the polaron radius.

We obtain the eigenenergies, and the eigenfunctions of the ground state, and the first excited state respectively. This system in a quantum dot can be treated as a two-level quantum system qubit and the numerical calculations are performed.The effects of Shannon entropy and electric field on the polaron in the RbCl triangular quantum dot are also studied.     

准一维半导体量子点中电偶极自旋共振的物理机理

半导体量子点中的电子自旋具有较长相干时间以及可扩展性的特点, 在近十几年来引起了人们的广泛兴趣. 人们常常利用电子自旋共振技术来对单个自旋进行操纵. 这样不但需要一个静磁场来使电子产生赛曼劈裂, 同时还需要一个与之垂直的局域振荡磁场. 但是, 在实验上产生足够强且具有固定频率的局域磁场是比较困难的. 后来人们发现, 局域的振荡电场也可以操纵单个电子自旋, 也就是所谓的电偶极自旋共振. 众所周知, 自旋只有自旋磁矩, 不会与电场有任何直接的相互作用. 所以, 电偶极自旋共振的发生必须依赖于某些媒质. 这些媒质包括：量子点材料中的自旋轨道耦合作用, 量子点中的局域磁场梯度, 以及量子点中电子自旋与核自旋的超精细相互作用. 这些媒质能诱导出自旋与电场之间间接的相互作用, 从而外电场操纵单个电子自旋得以实现. 本文总结归纳了目前半导体量子点系统中发生电偶极自旋共振的三种主要物理机理.

极性分子具有较长的相干时间和较强的偶极-偶极相互作用,因此它被视为量子信息处理的有效量子载体.基于分子摆动态作为量子比特,研究了处于热平衡状态下三极性分子线性链系统的三体量子关联特性,分析了三体负性熵纠缠度、测量诱导扰动和三体量子失协随与电场强度、分子电偶极矩、分子转动常数、偶极-偶极相互作用和温度等参数有关的三个无量纲变量之间的变化关系.研究表明:在其他参数给定的情况下,随电场强度的增加,三体量子关联均变小;随偶极-偶极相互作用强度的增大,三体量子关联先增加到峰值再逐渐变小;温度越高,负性熵纠缠度和三体量子失协越小,但测量诱导扰动随温度的改变在电场强度和偶极-偶极相互作用影响下呈现不同的变化趋势.此外,通过调节电场强度、偶极-偶极相互作用和温度,可改变与操控极性分子摆动态的三体量子关联.     

Quantum coherence preservation of atom with a classical driving field under non-Markovian environment

The exact dynamics of an open quantum system consisting of one qubit driven by a classical driving field is investigated. Our attention is focused on the influences of single-and two-photon excitations on the dynamics of quantum coherence and quantum entanglement. It is shown that the atomic coherence can be improved or even maintained by the classical driving field, the non-Markovian effect, and the atom-reservoir detuning. The interconversion between the atomic coherence and the atom-reservoir entanglement exists and can be controlled by the appropriate conditions. The conservation of coherence for different partitions is explored, and the dynamics of a system with two-photon excitations is different from the case of single-photon excitation.     

Constraint Dynamics and Tracking Control to Coherence of a Thermal Dissipative Qubit

Constraint dynamics and tracking control strategy to stabilize the coherence of a decoherent system is applied to a dissipative qubit system at a finite temperature. By using a control field dependent on the dynamical state of the qubit via the constraint equations, we show that the coherence of the qubit can be preserved within a finite time duration by the feedback effect of the qubit system. It is also shown that the temperature plays a negative role to this coherence control strategy.     

Multipartite Quantum Coherence and Distribution under the Unruh Effect

Quantum coherence of the tripartite W state and Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) state under the Unruh effect are explored based on the model of a two‐level detector qubit coupled to a massless scalar field. The results reveal that Unruh thermal noise really destroys tripartite quantum resources. It is worth mentioning that the quantum coherence of the GHZ state reaches zero in the infinite acceleration limit, but that of the W‐state always remains nonzero. Coherence of the GHZ state displays a sudden death as the coupling parameter grows, while coherence freezing can be witnessed for the W state. It can be concluded that the W state is more robust than the GHZ state against Unruh radiation. Moreover, the related investigation can be expanded to N‐qubit quantum systems and the corresponding analytical solution is obtained. It indicates that the larger number W‐type entangled qubit can be as a better quantum resource for quantum information tasks under the Unruh effect.     

Theory of the electron and nuclear spin coherence times of shallow donor spin qubits in isotopically and chemically purified zinc oxide

In this article, I present a theoretical study of the electron and nuclear spin coherence times of shallow donor spin qubits in zinc oxide (ZnO) at low temperature. The influence of different spin-phonon processes as well as different spin-spin processes on the spin coherence time of shallow donors in ZnO is considered, both in the case of an electron spin qubit and in the case of a nuclear spin qubit encoded on a shallow donor. It is estimated that the electron spin coherence time of an isolated indium shallow donor in natural quasi-intrinsic ZnO is on the order of hundreds of microseconds, limited by the nuclear spectral diffusion process. The electron spin coherence time of an isolated indium shallow donor can be extended to few milliseconds in isotopically and chemically purified quasi-intrinsic ZnO. In this optimal case, the electron spin coherence time of an isolated indium shallow donor is only limited by a spin-lattice decoherence process. It is also estimated that the nuclear spin coherence time of an isolated indium shallow donor in natural quasi-intrinsic ZnO is on the order of hundreds of milliseconds, limited by the nuclear spectral diffusion process. The nuclear spin coherence time of an isolated indium shallow donor can be extended to few seconds in isotopically and chemically purified quasi-intrinsic ZnO. In this optimal case, the nuclear spin coherence time of an isolated indium shallow donor is only limited by the cross relaxation decoherence process. This study thus shows the great potential of electron and nuclear spin qubits encoded on shallow donors in isotopically and chemically purified quasi-intrinsic ZnO for the implementation of quantum processor and/or quantum memories.     

Preserving coherence in Rydberg quantum bits

The effectiveness of decoherence suppression schemes is explored using quantum bits (qubits) stored in Li np Rydberg states. Following laser excitation, pulsed electric fields coherently control the electronic spin-orbit coupling, facilitating qubit creation, manipulation, and measurement. Spin-orbit coupling creates an approximate decoherence-free subspace for extending qubit storage times. However, sequences of fast NOT operations are found to be substantially more effective for preserving coherence.     

Entanglement of spin-orbit qubits induced by Coulomb interaction

Spin-orbit qubit (SOQ) is the dressed spin by the orbital degree of freedom through a strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC). We show that Coulomb interaction between two electrons in quantum dots located separately in two nanowires can efficiently induce quantum entanglement between two SOQs. But to achieve the highest possible value for two SOQs concurrence, strength of SOC and confining potential for the quantum dots should be tuned to an optimal ratio. The physical mechanism to achieve such quantum entanglement is based on the feasibility of the SOQ responding to the external electric field via an intrinsic electric dipole spin resonance.     

Rashba effect in an asymmetric quantum dot in a magnetic field

We derive an expression for the total spin-splitting energy in an asymmetric quantum dot with ferromagnetic contacts, subjected to a transverse electric field. Such a structure has been shown by one of us to act as a spintronic quantum gate with in-built qubit readers and writers (Phys. Rev. B61, 13813 (2000)). The ferromagnetic contacts result in a magnetic field that causes a Zeeman splitting of the electronic states in the quantum dot. We show that this Zeeman splitting can be finely tuned with a transverse electric field as a result of nonvanishing Rashba spin–orbit coupling in an asymmetric quantum dot. This feature is critical for implementing a quantum gate.     

Protected quantum computation with multiple resonators in ultrastrong coupling circuit QED

We investigate theoretically the dynamical behavior of a qubit obtained with the two ground eigenstates of an ultrastrong coupling circuit-QED system consisting of a finite number of Josephson fluxonium atoms inductively coupled to a transmission line resonator. We show a universal set of quantum gates by using multiple transmission line resonators (each resonator represents a single qubit). We discuss the intrinsic "anisotropic" nature of noise sources for fluxonium artificial atoms. Through a master equation treatment with colored noise and many-level dynamics, we prove that, for a general class of anisotropic noise sources, the coherence time of the qubit and the fidelity of the quantum operations can be dramatically improved in an optimal regime of ultrastrong coupling, where the ground state is an entangled photonic "cat" state.     

Long-lived qubit memory using atomic ions

We demonstrate experimentally a robust quantum memory using a magnetic-field-independent hyperfine transition in 9Be+ atomic ion qubits at a magnetic field B approximately = 0.01194 T. We observe that the single physical qubit memory coherence time is greater than 10 s, an improvement of approximately 5 orders of magnitude from previous experiments with 9Be+. We also observe long coherence times of decoherence-free subspace logical qubits comprising two entangled physical qubits and discuss the merits of each type of qubit.     

Quantum coherence in a one-electron semiconductor charge qubit

We study quantum coherence in a semiconductor charge qubit formed from a GaAs double quantum dot containing a single electron. Voltage pulses are applied to depletion gates to drive qubit rotations and noninvasive state readout is achieved using a quantum point contact charge detector. We measure a maximum coherence time of ～7 ns at the charge degeneracy point, where the qubit level splitting is first-order insensitive to gate voltage fluctuations. We compare measurements of the coherence time as a function of detuning with numerical simulations and predictions from a 1/f noise model.     

Continuous monitoring of Rabi oscillations in a Josephson flux qubit

Under resonant irradiation, a quantum system can undergo coherent (Rabi) oscillations in time. We report evidence for such oscillations in a continuously observed three-Josephson-junction flux qubit, coupled to a high-quality tank circuit tuned to the Rabi frequency. In addition to simplicity, this method of Rabi spectroscopy enabled a long coherence time of about 2.5 micros, corresponding to an effective qubit quality factor approximately 7000.

Nanoscale superconducting quantum bits

Various physical systems were proposed for quantum information processing. Among those nanoscale devices appear most promising for integration in electronic circuits and large-scale applications. We discuss Josephson junction circuits in two regimes where they can be used for quantum computing. These systems combine intrinsic coherence of the superconducting state with control possibilities of single-charge circuits. In the regime where the typical charging energy dominates over the Josephson coupling, the low-temperature dynamics is limited to two states differing by a Cooper-pair charge on a superconducting island. In the opposite regime of prevailing Josephson energy, the phase (or flux) degree of freedom can be used to store and process quantum information. Under suitable conditions the system reduces to two states with different flux configurations. Several qubits can be joined together into a register. The quantum state of a qubit register can be manipulated by voltage and magnetic field pulses. The qubits are inevitably coupled to the environment. However, estimates of the phase coherence time show that many elementary quantum logic operations can be performed before the phase coherence is lost. In addition to manipulations, the final state of the qubits has to be read out. This quantum measurement process can be accomplished using a single-electron transistor for charge Josephson qubits, and a d.c.-SQUID for flux qubits. Recent successful experiments with superconducting qubits demonstrate for the first time quantum coherence in macroscopic systems.     

Quantum information,oscillations and the psyche

In this paper, taking the theory of quantum information as a model, we consider the human unconscious, pre-consciousness and consciousness as sets of quantum bits (qubits). We view how there can be communication between these various qubit sets. In doing this we are inspired by the theory of nuclear magnetic resonance. In this way we build a model of handling a mental qubit with the help of pulses of a mental field. Starting with an elementary interaction between two qubits we build two-qubit quantum logic gates that allow information to be transferred from one qubit to the other. In this manner we build a quantum process that permits consciousness to “read” the unconscious and vice versa. The elementary interaction, e.g. between a pre-consciousness qubit and a consciousness one, allows us to predict the time evolution of the pre-consciousness + consciousness system in which pre-consciousness and consciousness are quantum entangled. This time evolution exhibits Rabi oscillations that we name mental Rabi oscillations. This time evolution shows how for example the unconscious can influence consciousness. In a process like mourning the influence of the unconscious on consciousness, as the influence of consciousness on the unconscious, are in agreement with what is observed in psychiatry.
