In this work, the energies and eigenfunctions of ground state and first-excited states (GFES) of a strongly coupled polaron in a quantum pseudo-dot (QPD) were studied by using variational method of Pekar type (VMPT). A single qubit can be realized in this two-level quantum system. Then, we calculated the coherence time of a QPD qubit by employing the Fermi Golden Rule. The temperature effects on the coherence time are taken into account by using the quantum statistics theory (QST) and self-consistent calculation method. According to the obtained results, it is found that the coherence time increases with decreasing temperature. Also, this time is a decaying function of the chemical potential of the two-dimensional electron gas and the zero point of the PHP.
