We study the initial dephasing of solid-state qubits in the independent-boson model, which describes well recent experiments on quantum dot (QD) excitons both in bulk and in substrates of reduced geometry such as nanotubes. Using explicit expressions for the exact coherence dynamics, a minimal QEC rate is identified in terms of the error threshold, temperature, and qubit-environment coupling strength. This allows us to systematically study the benefit of a current trend towards substrates with reduced dimensions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-07-16T12:50:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03.65.Yz", "78.67.Hc", "63.20.kd" ], "keywords": [ "qubit coherence decay", "substrate dimensions", "fault-tolerant quantum error correction", "minimal qec rate", "exact coherence dynamics" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "European Physical Journal B", "year": 2009, "month": "Apr", "volume": 68, "number": 4, "pages": 523 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009EPJB...68..523D" } } }
