Quantum Dynamics and Coherence of Qubits

Authors:
Vladimir Privman

Keywords: qubit, decoherence, exchange, entaglement

Abstract:
We review results in theoretical modeling of quantum systems in support of the studies of decoherence and qubit interactions for quantum information processing. The developed modeling tools have been applied to semiconductor materials and nanostructures that show promise for implementation of coherent, controlled quantum dynamics at the level of registers of several quantum bits (qubits), such as spins. Field-theoretical techniques have been utilized to address decoherence and more generally the origin and effects of quantum noise and the loss of entanglement in quantum dynamics of qubits and several-qubit registers. Qubit coupling mechanisms via the indirect exchange interaction have been investigated, and quantum computing designs have been evaluated for scalability. We also describe general and specific research challenges, the solution of which will advance the field of modeling "open quantum systems" to further our understanding of how environmental influences affect quantum coherence and its loss during quantum dynamics.
