Quantum Zeno subspaces and decoherence：量子芝诺子空间和退相干.ppt

Effetto Zenone quantisticoe controllo della decoerenza Milano, 23 marzo 2007 Quantum Zeno effect: fundamentals Neutron spin History Are projections à la von Neumann necessary? No: a dynamical explanation can be given, in terms of the Schroedinger equation (and involving no projection operators). Wigner, Am. J. Phys. 1963 Petrosky, Tasaki, Prigogine, PLA 1990; Physica 1991 Pascazio, Namiki, PRA 1994 This is best proven by looking at some examples. Incomplete measurements Nonselective measurements Unitary kicks Continuous coupling The quantum Zeno dynamics Free particle in D dimensions Main objective: understand and suppress decoherence Decoherence-free subspaces Palma, Suominen and Ekert (1996) Duan and Guo (1997) Zanardi and Rasetti (1997) Lidar, Chuang and Whaley (1998) Viola, Knill and Lloyd (1999) Vitali and Tombesi (1999, 2001) Beige, Braun, Tregenna and Knight (2000) … Tasaki, Tokuse, P.F., Pascazio (2002) P.F:, Lidar and Pascazio (2004) Relevant timescales Main idea Framework Framework (cont’d) System-bath interaction (Gardiner Zoller) Polynomial and exponential case Form factors Controlled Dynamics Measurements Measurements (small times) “Kicks” kicks (small times) Continuous coupling (strong) continuous coupling Comparison Comparison (small times 1/N -- strong coupling K) Remarkable differences (partial) CONCLUSIONS BEST strategy: kicks/continuous rather than measurements GAIN: factor 10 Hopefully: more to come Qdots, cavities, JJ Full line: exponential; dashed line: polynomial form factor. inverse temperature bandwidth important !! control(protection) enhancement P.F., Tasaki, Pascazio, Nakazato,Tokuse, Lidar, Phys.
