Engineering, controlling, and simulating quantum dynamics is a strenuous task. However, these techniques are crucial to develop quantum technologies, preserve quantum properties, and engineer decoherence. Earlier results have demonstrated reservoir engineering, construction of a quantum simulator for Markovian open systems, and controlled transition from Markovian to non-Markovian regime. Dephasing is an ubiquitous mechanism to degrade the performance of quantum computers. However, all-purpose quantum simulator for generic dephasing is still missing. Here, we demonstrate full experimental control of dephasing allowing us to implement arbitrary decoherence dynamics of a qubit. As examples, we use a photon to simulate the dynamics of a qubit coupled to an Ising chain in a transverse field and also demonstrate a simulation of nonpositive dynamical map. Our platform opens the possibility to simulate dephasing of any physical system and study fundamental questions on open quantum systems.
Six Zn(II) coordination polymers,
[Zn(H2L)(Hipa-CH3)2]·2H2O (1), [Zn2(HL)2(ipa-CH3)] (2), [Zn2(HL)2(ipa-NO2)]·2H2O
(3), [Zn2(HL)2(ipa-NO2)] (4), [Zn2(HL)(BTCA)(H2O)]·H2O (5), and [Zn3(HL)3(BTCA)]
(6), were synthesized by reactions of Zn(II) salts with
rigid ligand 1-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)-4-(4H-tetrazol-5-yl)benzene (H2L) and different carboxylic
acids, 5-methyl-isophthalic acid (H2ipa-CH3),
5-nitro-isophthalic acid (H2ipa-NO2), and 1,2,4-benzenetricarboxylic
acid (H3BTCA). Complexes 1 and 2 were formed under different pH values, and 1 is a one-dimensional
(1D) chain extended by hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking
interactions to form a three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular polymer,
while 2 exhibits a uninodal 6-connected 3D architecture
with (412·63)-pcu topology
based on the binuclear Zn(II) secondary building units (SBUs). Polymers 3 and 4 present a pair of pseudopolymorphs with
layered-pillared framework. Polymer 3 possesses Zn2(HL–)2
2+ sheets pillared
by the ipa-NO2
2– ligand to form a 3D
net, while 4 builds on the [Zn2(HL)(ipa-NO2)]+ layer pillared by HL– ligand.
Complex 5 is a (3,8)-connected tfz-d 3D
net with point (Schläfli) symbol (43)2(46·618·84) based on the
tetranuclear [Zn4(COO)4] SBUs, while the BTCA3– ligands act as three-connector pillars to link adjacent
[Zn3(HL–)3]3– layers into a 3D net for 6. Complexes 1–6 exhibit intense light blue emission in the
solid state at room temperature, and activated sample 6 shows highly selective CO2 uptake over N2 and
H2.
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.
