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 compatible with quantum gates. [6] [7] [8] In spin systems in particular, commonly used protocols for dynamical decoupling include the Carr-Purcell and the Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill schemes. [9] [10] They are based on the Hahn spin echo technique of applying periodic pulses to enable refocusing and hence extend the coherence times of qubits.
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. [11]
Dynamical decoupling has also been studied in a classical context for two coupled pendulums whose oscillation frequencies are modulated in time. [12]
