We illustrate this for spin systems undergoing an Ising-type interaction with the environment and demonstrate that both the fidelity to the original state and the purity of the amended state can simultaneously be increased by the reversing operation. A possible experimental scheme to implement our scheme is discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2007-04-07T12:40:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "macroscopic quantum superposition", "probabilistic reversing operation", "purity gain", "large class", "experimental scheme" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
