Qubit decoherence by low-frequency noise

Superconductivity 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

We have derived explicit non-perturbative expression for decoherence of quantum oscillations in a qubit by low-frequency noise. Decoherence strength is controlled by the noise spectral density at zero frequency while the noise correlation time τ\tau determines the time tt of crossover from the 1/t1/\sqrt{t} to the exponential suppression of coherence. We also performed Monte Carlo simulations of qubit dynamics with noise which agree with the analytical results and show that most of the conclusions are valid for both Gaussian and non-Gaussian noise.
