Chaos can act as a decoherence suppressor

Quantum Physics 2012-04-09 v1

Abstract

We propose a strategy to suppress decoherence of a solid-state qubit coupled to non-Markovian noises by attaching the qubit to a chaotic setup with the broad power distribution in particular in the high-frequency domain. Different from the existing decoherence control methods such as the usual dynamics decoupling control, high-frequency components of our control are generated by the chaotic setup driven by a low-frequency field, and the generation of complex optimized control pulses is not necessary. We apply the scheme to superconducting quantum circuits and find that various noises in a wide frequency domain, including low-frequency 1/f1/f, high-frequency Ohmic, sub-Ohmic, and super-Ohmic noises, can be efficiently suppressed by coupling the qubits to a Duffing oscillator as the chaotic setup. Significantly, the decoherence time of the qubit is prolonged approximately 100100 times in magnitude.
