A quantum system with finite degrees of freedom can simulate a composite of a system and its environment if the state of the hypothetical environment is randomized by external manipulation. We propose to examine various techniques in quantum information processing in virtual noisy environment with two concrete examples. One simulates phase decoherence of a single qubit in a transmission line, and the other does in a quantum memory. In both cases, the bang-bang control, a typical example of useful techniques employed in quantum information processing, is observed to be effective to suppress decoherence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
