Quantum coherence protection by noise

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a scheme to protect quantum coherence by adding another noise. We consider an example of a Jaynes–Cummings model coupled to an external non-Markovian bosonic bath. We solve this model by using the dressed state method in the presence of a stochastic coupling and obtain the density matrix by numerically averaging many stochastic trajectories. We show that the noisy atom-cavity coupling can effectively suppress both the relaxation and dephasing effects caused by the leakage of the cavity. Besides, we further illustrate the impacts of the standard deviation of the noisy coupling and the non-Markovian memory effect on the coherence protection. Then, the mechanism of the protection is analyzed. It is our hope that our research may open a new path to consider the role of noise in quantum coherence preservation.
