It has important harmful implications for quantum information processing, and various solutions to the problem have been proposed. Here we provide a detailed a review of the theory of decoherence-free subspaces and subsystems, focusing on their usefulness for preservation of quantum information.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-01-09T04:58:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "decoherence-free subspaces", "subsystems", "non-unitary dynamics", "important harmful implications", "consequence" ], "tags": [ "book chapter", "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Irreversible Quantum Dynamics", "year": 2003, "volume": 622, "pages": 83 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2003LNP...622...83L" } } }
