Abstract
AbstractReducing decoherence is an essential step toward realizing general‐purpose quantum computers beyond the present noisy intermediate‐scale quantum (NISQ) computers. To this end, dynamical decoupling (DD) approaches in which external fields are applied to qubits are often adopted. We numerically study DD using a two‐level model system (qubit) under the influence of Markovian decoherence by using quantum optimal control theory with slightly modified settings, in which the physical objective is to maximally create and maintain a specified superposition state in a specified control period. An optimal pulse is numerically designed while systematically varying the values of dephasing, population decay, pulse fluence, and control period as well as using two kinds of objective functionals. The decrease in purity due to the decoherence limits the ability to maintain a coherent superposition state; we refer to the state of maximal purity that can be maintained as the saturated value. The optimally shaped pulse minimizes the negative effect of decoherence by gradually populating and continuously replenishing the state of saturated purity.
