Completely-Positive Non-Markovian Decoherence
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose an effective Hamiltonian approach to investigate decoherence of a quantum system in a non-Markovian reservoir, naturally imposing the complete positivity on the reduced dynamics of the system. The formalism is based on the notion of an effective reservoir, i.e., certain collective degrees of freedom in the reservoir that are responsible for the decoherence. As examples for completely positive decoherence, we present three typical decoherence processes for a qubit such as dephasing, depolarizing, and amplitude-damping. The effects of the non-Markovian decoherence are compared to the Markovian decoherence.

Holonomic quantum computation in the presence of decoherence.
We present a scheme to study non-Abelian adiabatic holonomies for open Markovian systems. As an application of our framework, we analyze the robustness of holonomic quantum computation against decoherence. We pinpoint the sources of error that must be corrected to achieve a geometric implementation of quantum computation completely resilient to Markovian decoherence.
متن کاملDecoherence suppression of open quantum systems through a strong coupling to non-Markovian reservoirs
In this paper, we provide a mechanism of decoherence suppression for open quantum systems in general and that for a “Schrödinger cat-like” state in particular, through strong couplings to non-Markovian reservoirs. Different from the usual strategies in the literature of suppressing decoherence by decoupling the system from the environment, here the decoherence suppression employs a strong back-...
متن کاملDecoherence Strength of Multiple Non-Markovian Environments
It is known that one can characterize the decoherence strength of a Markovian environments by the product of its temperature and induced damping and order the decoherence strength of multiple environments by this quantity. For non-Markovian environments in the weak coupling regime we show that there exists a natural, albeit partial ordering of decoherence strengths via a perturbative treatment....
متن کاملSpatially dependent decoherence and anomalous diffussion of quantum walks
We analyze the long time behavior of a discrete time quantum walk subject to decoherence with a strong spatial dependence, acting on one half of the lattice. We show that, except for limiting cases on the decoherence parameter, the quantum walk at late times behaves sub-ballistically, meaning that the characteristic features of the quantum walk are not completely spoiled. Contrarily to expectat...
متن کاملContinuous quantum measurement in spin environments
We derive a formalism of stochastic master equations (SME) which describes the decoherence dynamics of a system in spin environments conditioned on the measurement record. Markovian and non-Markovian nature of environment can be revealed by a spectroscopy method based on weak quantum measurement (weak spectroscopy). On account of that correlated environments can lead to a nonlocal open system w...
