Abstract

We develop in the weak coupling approximation a quasi-non-Markovian master equation and study the phenomenon of decoherence during the operation of a controlled-not (CNOT) quantum gate in a quantum computer model formed by a linear chain of three nuclear spins system with second neighbor Ising interaction between them. We compare with the behavior of the Markovian counterpart for temperature different from zero (thermalization) and at zero temperature for low and high dissipation rates. At low dissipation there is a very small difference between Markovian and quasi no-Markovian at any temperature which is unlikely to be measured, and at high dissipation there is a difference which is likely to be measured at any temperature.

Highlights

  • A quantum open system is generally characterized by a non unitary evolution of the reduced density matrix associated to the central system and its interaction with the environment

  • We develop in the weak coupling approximation a quasi-non-Markovian master equation and study the phenomenon of decoherence during the operation of a controlled-not (CNOT) quantum gate in a quantum computer model formed by a linear chain of three nuclear spins system with second neighbor Ising interaction between them

  • We have study the behavior of system-environment interaction with this quasi-non Markovian master equation and compared the results with the Markovian counterpart

Summary

Introduction

A quantum open system is generally characterized by a non unitary evolution of the reduced density matrix associated to the central system and its interaction with the environment. We thought in quasi non-Markovian as an approximation to a master equation but with a temporal dependence in some of the coefficients which defines the interaction with the environment which depends on the Ising interaction between the spins and may lead to a different behavior of the traditional Markovian solutions. These solutions keep the completely positiveness of the density matrix. We are interested in determine the differences between the quasi-non-Markovian and Markovian behavior of a quantum controlled-not (CNOT) gate during its implementation on this model of quantum computer. We present mainly the differences between the Markovian and the quasi-non-Markovian behavior on the reduced density matrix elements
