Reversal of the weak measurement of a quantum state in a superconducting phase qubit.

چکیده
We demonstrate in a superconducting qubit the conditional recovery (uncollapsing) of a quantum state after a partial-collapse measurement. A weak measurement extracts information and results in a nonunitary transformation of the qubit state. However, by adding a rotation and a second partial measurement with the same strength, we erase the extracted information, canceling the effect of both measurements. The fidelity of the state recovery is measured using quantum process tomography and found to be above 70% for partial-collapse strength less than 0.6.

Decoherence effects on quantum Fisher information of multi-qubit W states
Quantum fisher information of a parameter characterizing the sensitivity of a state with respect to parameter changes. In this paper, we study the quantum fisher information of the W state for four, five, six and seven particles in decoherence channels, such as amplitude damping, phase damping and depolarizing channel. Using Krauss operators for decoherence channels components, we investigate t...

متن کاملDecoherence suppression by quantum measurement reversal
We show that qubit decoherence due to zero-temperature energy relaxation can be almost completely suppressed by using the quantum uncollapsing (measurement reversal) procedure. To protect a qubit state, a partial quantum measurement moves it toward the ground state, where it is kept during the storage period, while the second partial measurement restores the initial state. This procedure prefer...
متن کاملQuantum feedback control of a superconducting qubit: Persistent Rabi oscillations
The act of measurement bridges the quantum and classical worlds by projecting a superposition of possible states into a single, albeit probabilistic, outcome. The time-scale of this “instantaneous” process can be stretched using weak measurements so that it takes the form of a gradual random walk towards a final state. Remarkably, the interim measurement record is sufficient to continuously tra...
متن کاملAnalysis of measurement errors for a superconducting phase qubit
We analyze several mechanisms leading to errors in a course of measurement of a superconducting fluxbiased phase qubit. Insufficiently long measurement pulse may lead to nonadiabatic transitions between qubit states 1 and 0 , before tunneling through a reduced barrier is supposed to distinguish the qubit states. Finite though large ratio of tunneling rates for these states leads to incomplete d...
