Exact Results on Dynamic Decoupling by π-Pulses in Quantum Information Processes — •Götz S. Uhrig — Lehrstuhl für Theoretische Physik I, TU Dortmund, 44221 Dortmund

The aim of dynamic decoupling consists in the suppression of decoherence by appropriate coherent control of a quantum register. Effectively, the interaction with the environment is reduced and hence the decoherence rate. In particular, a sequence of π-pulses is considered. Here we present exact results on the suppression of the coupling of a quantum bit to its environment by optimized sequences of π-pulses along the storage time t. The more pulses are used the higher is the order in t in which decoherence occurs [1]. To which extent the optimization pays is discussed for different high-energy cutoffs. We show that the results for a spin-boson model hold generally for any kind of bath.
