Decoherence and recoherence in a vibrating rf SQUID
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study an rf SQUID, in which a section of the loop is a freely suspended beam that is allowed to oscillate mechanically. The coupling between the rf SQUID and the mechanical resonator originates from the dependence of the total magnetic flux threading the loop on the displacement of the resonator. Motion of the latter affects the visibility of Rabi oscillations between the two lowest energy states of the rf SQUID. We address the feasibility of experimental observation of decoherence and recoherence, namely decay and rise of the visibility, in such a system.

Decoherence in rf SQUID qubits
We report measurements of coherence times of an rf SQUID qubit using pulsed microwaves and rapid flux pulses. The modified rf SQUID, described by an double-well potential, has independent, in situ, controls for the tilt and barrier height of the potential. The decay of coherent oscillations is dominated by the lifetime of the excited state and low frequency flux noise and is consistent with ind...
متن کاملDesign of an RSFQ Control Circuit to Observe MQC on an rf - SQUID
—We believe that the best chance to observe mac-roscopic quantum coherence (MQC) in an rf-SQUID qubit i s to use on-chip RSFQ digital circuits for preparing, evolving and reading out the qubit's quantum state. This approach allows experiments to be conducted on a very short time scale (sub-nanosecond) without the use of large bandwidth control lines that would couple environmental degrees of fr...
متن کاملInteraction with a pre and post selected environment and recoherence
The interaction of an open system S with a preand post-selected environment is studied. In general, under such circumstances S can not be described in terms of a density matrix, even when S in not post-selected. However, a simple description in terms of a two-state (TS) is always available. The two-state of S evolves in ti me from an initially ‘pure’ TS to a ‘mixed’ TS and back to a final ‘pure...
متن کاملProbability, Arrow of Time and Decoherence∗
This paper relates both to the metaphysics of probability and to the physics of time asymmetry. Using the formalism of decoherent histories, it investigates whether intuitions about intrinsic time directedness that are often associated with probability can be justified in the context of no-collapse approaches to quantum mechanics. The standard (two-vector) approach to time symmetry in the decoh...
