The sites of the qubits are permitted to have a small random variance. We derive the explicit conditions under which the qubits can be assumed decohering independently. In other circumstances, the qubits are decohered cooperatively. We describe two kinds of collective decoherence. In each case, a scheme is proposed for reducing the collective decoherence. The schemes operate by encoding the input states of the qubits into some ''subdecoherent'' states.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1997-03-20T02:07:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum registers", "small random variance", "collective decoherence", "explicit conditions", "schemes operate" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 441375, "adsabs": "1997quant.ph..3036D" } } }
