Dynamical decoupling
Dynamical decoupling (DD) is an open-loop quantum control technique employed in quantum computing to suppress decoherence by taking advantage of rapid, time-dependent control modulation. In its simplest form, DD is implemented by periodic sequences of instantaneous control pulses, whose net effect is to approximately average the unwanted system-environment coupling to zero.[1][2] Different schemes exist for designing DD protocols that use realistic bounded-strength control pulses,[3] as well as for achieving high-order error suppression,[4][5] and for making DD is compatible with quantum gates.[6][7][8]
Periodic repetition of suitable high-order DD sequences may be employed to engineer a ‘stroboscopic saturation’ of qubit coherence, or coherence plateau, that can persist in the presence of realistic noise spectra and experimental control imperfections. This permits device-independent, high-fidelity data storage for computationally useful periods with bounded error probability.[9]
