Refocusing, or dynamical decoupling, is a coherent control technique where the internal dynamics of a quantum system is effectively averaged out by an application of specially designed driving fields. The method has originated in nuclear…
Quantum computers must be able to function in the presence of decoherence. The simplest strategy for decoherence reduction is dynamical decoupling (DD), which requires no encoding overhead and works by converting quantum gates into…
