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

Quantum Physics 2008-05-20 v2

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.
